M thoughts are that since you are converting one form of energy into another, you are gong to loose some energy along the way. This needs more study to see if it's a good idea, but why not just lay some black plastic pipe on the roof and pump antifreeze through that into your pex?
Or put a solar collector against the south wall and just use natural convection to move the heat into the building.
Honestly I would budget an amount per month to insulate. Adding insulation is going to give you the most bang for your buck.
And yes I remember raising a family through some pretty lean years. It was tough but with creative ideas we made it.
