Very cool idea.

Few potential issues come to mind:

- I bet dust would muck up the MOF

- Dust would need to be swept off to allow sunlight energy to reach the solar chamber.

- Ambient temperature on mars in below the freezing point of water. May not get enough sun to warm the MOF enough to drive off the moisture. EDIT: Found a source saying that water vaporizes during the day because of the reduced pressure - interesting.
