Re:Freshwater from salt water using only solar energy

I wonder if there's a good use to which the highly-salinated solution (the "leftover salt") could be put. It's a stretch, but I vaguely recall something about storing excess solar energy thermally, in dense piles of molten salt...

Part of me wonders if the water could be used for fracking as a double down on energy generation, but the other part of me says that if that were possible that people far smarter and richer than I would have already been on top of this.
