    If it’s hot water, you can get water solar panels/rigs, too. Probably not too helpful in some places but many places get enough hours of sunlight to start the hot water going. On top of insulating the pipes, most of the heat lost on the way to the rooms might be gained by being able to start the heating at however many degrees higher than it would be if you pulled it straight out the ground. Also good for jacuzzis in the summer, when you’ll be getting 60°C+ water out the panels and nothing to heat except water for pots. It’s a luxury but only because water’s so expensive to heat and we’re aiming for luxury, aren’t we?
