...aaaaand seven months later, welcome to the conversation. While I'm curious as to how you found this post, and why you're responding to it this far out of date, I'll forego that for the moment.
In the meantime welcome! Hang around. Stay for the art show later on.
Now on to your comments- I like the concept you're using, but as I said- Steamcon's here in Seattle. In October- which means that any ship attempting to land and claim the WTF prize will have to deal with heavy cloud cover. While I laud the design concept you've presented for its efficiency, as you said yourself, parabolic reflection for solar power is less than ideal in indirect sunlight. The weather itself would be a severe barrier around here, especially when it comes to takeoff/landing.
