It's just a matter of efficiency and losses, Alex. What you are describing is the basis of passive solar design, and it works well when the house is designed this way.
To put it into perspective, the glasshouse collector would have to be bigger than your house by a factor big enough to cover the heat loss in getting the heat from the collector to the house.
If you have that sort of money to spend, a passive solar house is the go.
