" The goal is to engineer a concentrating system that focuses sunlight, that tracks the movement of the sun"

I can tell you right now that as long as they think that way, they will never succeed. (Unless of course they are Muslims, and believe that:

Tabari I:236 “‘When the sun rises upon its chariot from one of those springs it is accompanied by 360 angels with outspread wings…. When Allah wishes to test the sun and the moon, showing His servants a sign and thereby getting them to obey, the sun tumbles from the chariot and falls into the deep end of that ocean. When Allah wants to increase the significance of the sign and frighten His servants severely, all of the sun falls and nothing of it remains in the chariot. That is a total eclipse of the sun. It is a misfortune for the sun.’”

But it will be very difficult to make the system work with Allah screwing around scaring people whenever he feels like it..

No problem. Just pass Allah a note that Mohammed wants things a certain way. He'll cooperate.

Allah lets Mohammed have anything he wants.
