Solar water heating drives steam generation
Today, solar-powered steam generation involves vast fields of mirrors or lenses that concentrate incoming sunlight, heating large volumes of liquid to high enough temperatures to produce steam.

MIT engineers have built a device that soaks up enough heat from the sun to boil water and produce “superheated” steam hotter than 100 degrees Celsius, without any expensive optics.
Fundamentally, solar steam generation is a process by which solar energy is used to drive the endothermic phase transition from liquid water to vapour.
