Thermal solar panels for heating

Hi
Does anybody have any experience of thermal solar panels for heating (I think this is what they are called).
Apparently they blow warm air into the house and are used for small areas like workshops or small holiday homes. I'm interested in it just as a supplement to the normal heating - not to raise the temperature of the house the way proper heating would but to keep the house at a basic temperature.
Thanks!
(btw my nick is just that - just a username:)

Is this the sort of thing you mean?

Thanks a million, that's it actually. I'm looking for a distributor of those in Ireland if they exist - I haven't been able to find one.

This is the system I'm thinking of (diagram is on this page):

I don't know of any distrubuters of such a system.

Just go for the diy version, Guinness cans come pre-painted the correct colour. You'll enjoy prepairing the heat collectors..
