Welcome to the site Austin.

The reason that solar hot water works so well with radiant floors is because of the huge surface area and the wonders of radiant heat. Solar will work with other forms of distributing the heat, but it just won't work as good because other methods require higher water temperatures. If you want a different form of using that heat you'll need something with a lot of surface area to try to make up for the difference.
