The most recent model home was going to use air heated floors and Legalette was to provide a solar air heat as a supplement. Any update on how effective the system is (or is it not installed yet?)

I am planning a build and would like to know if the air heated with a solar air panel is a good option or if I should stick with radiant water in the slab

I am wondering about this as well. I am very interested in using this system for my home expansion.
