A Trombe wall is available to absorb year round, with variable effectiveness depending on cloud cover and time of year (solar incidence angle mostly). Another of the home uses year round is heating domestic water for washing and bathing. A small absorber sized for this load would backout the fuel combustion for electric or gas. solar shutter, either static or dynamic is another absorber when you need it, reflector when you dont As you're becoming aware thru the hvac study, this is all about heat flow....energy flow, not absolute statics.
