I totally understand where you are coming from, but using a solar panel is a new installation generating new power. The proposed heating system is using heat that is being generated anyway and would normally be exhausted to the outside world and wasted. Whether it's economic to distribute the heat in this way rather than aggregate it in a data centre and use the waste heat at economies of scale is the real question.
