@The Evil Greebo: It turns out that almost all HR Kettles on the market work the same way and on the same principles, and that the expensive systems that do support solar heating for the Central heating system have an extra heatpump compressor and condensor in order to achieve their effeciency. The recommended solution is floor heating which works with much lower temperatures. This question and answer pertains to almost all HR kettles on the market.

Ok, I edited it. The more I think about it I guess Niall C. is right about the the capacity. Probably the temperature difference between the (still warm) returning water and the solar reservoir is not big enough to do any good (the returning water might even end up warming up the solar reservoir in worst case). @UNECS: Using a bypass would require an extra pump and probably an "intelligent" system that switches between the two. Still I'm wondering how those other systems work, they all seem to tell the same story as my 2nd diagram displays. I must be missing something here?

Made the topic more general and added the last sentence making the question more explicit.
