Solar Hot Water System?

Would it be possible to have a solar panel drive a DC motor that drives an AC generator via a ratio gearbox to produce electricity to power a hot water system??

Yes, but it would be terribly inefficient.

You can get hot water from solar energy in one step, skipping the motor-generator entirely.
