    Nah, just use the liquid cooling to provide thermal energy to provide additional power or to run the cooling system. :-(

    Yeah, first thought was Wooo Hooo, but soon realized: "Ouch! 200 suns!" It's not for the average Joe.
    So I'd end up with a "panel on my roof" that's 40% smaller than usual, but a mirror area 200 times bigger than the panel. OPS, better get those steel cables ready to hold the house down in wind storms. Hahahaha
