In any system such as ground source heat or solar panels (that i know of) the heat the system gains from the source is only the start. In ground source the flow heats up to 11 degrees celcius this on its own wouldnt do much but it then goes though a compressor which works in the opposite way to a refridgerator and gets it up to 60 plus degrees celcius so maybe something like this would be needed for it to work.
