So you get the most hot water for heating on the sunniest days when
you are least likely to use it. I think you have it arse about face.
Use solar to augment the hot water which you will use year round.

Properly designed a solar system will produce almost all the hot
water needed in summer.

In winter it is unlikely to produce more than a small fraction of
the space heating requirement, unless it is grossly oversized for
summer use.

In the spring and autumn it might provide a useful fraction of the
space heating requirement on some days.
