I am not sure that the vision of solar energy, as a cheap, consumer based production i in this development. The water "middleman" can be dangerous.

Please check http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/09/padre_himalaya_solar_energy.php for a photo of his huge "Solar Furnace" (that reached 3500 º Celsius!) that won two gold medals at the 1904 Universal Expo of St. Louis, plus YouTube videos describing his inventions (sorry, in Portuguese and French ;-) and recent days implementation of scale models, with physics explanations. Good ideas tend to surface at times of need! José A. Basto; Porto, Portugal Hello:

The major concern I would have with that is the safety issues of being around it. If it was controlled properly, I could see this as having the potential to produce a lot of alternative energy for our country in the future. That is awesome technology.
