Clever.

However, it is important to keep in mind exactly what we are trying to 
optimize.  In this case it is collected solar energy divided by embodied
energy in creating the collector.  I suspect that building a large 
collector with this method is going to involve a lot more material than 
a regular system.

Thank You Kindly,
