Have you thought about what type of salt would make sense for the parameters of your system? CSP plants use nitrates (basically fertilizer), since they have lots of advantages, however they melt at 130+ deg. C which is much more than you'd need for household applications. Keep on innovating!

There are so many opportunities for this proposal that I hope you will pursue as you progress. Think about tying this to new technologies like Blockchain and thinking about crowdsourcing distributed energy through a microgrid. Looking forward to seeing this succeed.
