The compressors they used to fill my SCUBA tanks with were multi-stage monsters and the SCUBA tanks were cooled in a water bath during the process. The aluminum tanks have to be inspected for corrosion every so often as well. Maybe carbon fiber, painted black for solar heating, and active shutters to block sun when they are freshly jacked up might work better.
