My brother has a commercially made solar water system with glycol, and a big triangle tube tank. He's happy with it. It was far more $$$ however.
Posted more info below..
as far as your brother's hot water system with glycol.. tell him I said good luck with it. He's probably using flat panel hot water collectors thus the need for glycol. I'm sure it's a great system for sure.

Myself, I didn't have any issues getting my evacuated tube collector water to drain back into my basement so I went with a drainback system... no glycol / no standing water outside the house and no pressure in the system. I love it.
