There are some experiments using magnifying lenses to focus the sun's rays on a particularly strong solar cell (do a search for Suncube).
Check the various Solar Car Trials to see if any are using magnifying lenses. They certainly could.

Is solar power better then coal power?
Solar power is more environment friendly than coal power. Solar power is, however, more expensive than coal power.
What is the process by which solar power is created?
Solar power is created by converting sunlight into electricity using photovoltaics or concentrated solar power through the use of lenses, mirrors or tracking systems. These CSPs work by focusing the energy into a small, concentrated beam of energy. Commercial solar power stations were first built in the 1980's.
Is solar power better then fossil fuels?
yes it is
How is solar power collected and stored?
Solar power is collected by solar panels, and stored in currents
Which would make a better solar power plant a polar reigon or a desert region?
Solar power is energy from the sun, so a desert region would be better for solar power because there are longer hours of sun in the desert than in the polar regions.
Why are solar power plants better than coal fired power plants?
because solar power is better for the earth. coal is a fossil fuel so it is getting scarce. wind powered is the best to use.
Why do we need solar power plants?
Solar power is a great example of renewable energy, which can help reduce our dependency on fossil fuels, which will run out eventually.we solar power becuse to make stuff better
Can wood work with solar ovens?
if your using a magnifying glass, yes!
Is there anything better than wind power?
There are some better ones like water and solar power because you will always have them
