All the parts already exist in differing mechanisms and just need to be combined to begin distilling seawater for a multitued of purposes.

I believe they chose not to use CSP for 2 reasons: the site is only 8MW, and CSP works best at over 15 MW for solar towers, and 200 MW for parabolic trough. The other reason was that the site has limited water, which means that the turbine would need air colling, which lowers the efficiency.

So there is potential. Most projects tend to be very large, however, to acheive economies of scale.
