Solar tempering is great! But the point is to get to 100% heating from "passive" solar, you'll need a lot of expensive storage and an active means of controlling heat transfer to/from the storage. It's cheaper to use heat pumps, and, when coupled with solar panels, it lets you get to net-zero, and in existing houses that weren't designed for passive solar.
