Why are concave mirrors used in solar devices?
This property is used in solar devices. Parallel rays from the Sun, when reflected by the concave mirror, are focused at a particular point, generating a significant amount of heat. This heat is essential for

Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) Technology
CSP plants generate electric power by using mirrors to concentrate (focus) the sun''s energy and convert it into high-temperature heat. That heat is then channeled through a conventional generator.
