I found the Zenith system produces water about 90 celsius degrees, close to boiling point.
But how, if multi junction solar cell best working temperature it's not 90 celsius degrees ?
The Israeli's used FREON for their working fluid,with solar pond turbo-generators.We still have an ozone hole from that,for 150-years or so,so we'd probably wouldn't want to repeat that.
