What you're asking about is called concentrated solar power. Effectively, hundreds or even thousands of mirrors cause lots of extra sunlight to be reflected towards a singular harvesting location.

What are disadvantages of solar energy source?
takes up a lot of space,expensive to install,and some panels and plants are inefficient
What are some examples of Solar Energy?
solar energy warming the earthsolar energy captured by PV panels and converted into electricity.
What does the word solar mean in the word solar system?
the word solar means anything that has to do with the sun or utilizing the energy from it. some uses of the word solar include solar energy and solar eclipse.
Is energy absorbed or reflected by earth?
The solar energy that reaches the Earth is called insolation.Of the incoming solar radiation 16% is absorbed by the earth's atmosphere, 3%is absorbed by clouds and 51%is absorbed by the earth's surface, making a total of 70%.
Disadvantage of solar energy resources?
There are many disadvantages to solar energy but here is some fires or things like that THANK YOU.... :)
What are some limitations of solar energy?
to keep it from plants dying
Is there a substance that can absorb sunlight and create energy?
if you are talking about living things, plants can absorb sunlight through a process called photosynthesis. But if you aren't talking about living things, then I would have to say solar panels. They act in the same way as plants, only they aren't alive. Some companies use solar energy instead of nuclear energy or something else with dangerous waste products, because solar energy has no waste and is a clean way to get energy. Although you have to get a lot of solar panels to equal the amount of energy poured out by nuclear plants. But if you want to go safe, solar is the one for you.

Why is the suns energy important to the earth?
it is important because the plants need it to grow, human beings use the solar energy in the sun to slow global warming and some animals eat plants but the carnvores eat animals that eats plants..
What are some current examples of alternative solar energy?
Some people use solar energy to power lights, there are also some solar powered calculators
What are some types of solar power?
solar energy, solar panels
What are some advantages of solar power plants?
The main advantage of solar power plants is how good they are for the environment by releasing no greenhouse gasses like fossil fuels do. Also the energy source from the sun is not going to run out like coal and oil will.
How do fossil fuels contain solar energy?
Fossil fuels come from plants and microscopic organisms, which long ago died and were buried in the earth and slowly transformed into coal, oil, and gas. These plants and microorganisms once, millions of years ago, got their energy from the sun. Thus, all fossil fuels received some solar energy.
Where did solar energy come from?
Solar energy comes from some sorts of lights like the sun's energy light
What organisms convert energy from the sun into chemical energy?
Photosynthesis is the cellular process that converts solar energy into chemical energy.
What are some examples of Solar Energy?
solar energy warming the earthsolar energy captured by PV panels and converted into electricity.
What are some energy transformations from the sun?
sunlight,solar energy
