No you would need to run the stainless steel solar pipe to a manifold and from their connect to the PEX.  The solar side  of the collector can reach 400 F and would melt the PEX if it was attached directly.  However you can certainly run the soar direct to the floor with nothing in between and use our pump station as the primary pump and controller for your garage heater.
