reasons

why using mirrors to generate electricity is not a common practice.

A big part of the reason that mirrors are seldom if ever used to generate

electricity is the simple fact that there is no way to generate electricity using

mirrors. They are as useless for the purpose as smoke is, although there are

those who have used both items simultaneously to create the impression that

they have succeeded in that attempt.

Mirrors are made of glass and glass isn't the greatest conductor.
