I think you are talking about this:
Of course, standard solar cells can't handle 2,000 suns, but they can handle several. Haven't been able to read their limits, but you could experiment with a
flipped solar cell and several flat mirrors. The one below will reflect 2 suns onto the solar panel. Use four (one on each side) for four suns. Coll the panel's back side with water, and run that water to a hot water tank.
