10% electricity to laser efficiency and 8% solar cell efficiency means 99% energy conversion loss. What you have, if you cool everything with water is a not very compact hot water heater. Otherwise you are just making hot air.

What if the hot water is converted to steam and used to generate electricity? Not exactly efficient, but not wasting the waste heat.
