The mirrors used in these kind of installations are typically rotated to track the sun. Idk if it could take down a satellite but I would imagine they could set nearby things on fire by adjusting mirror angles.

Atmospheric scattering would make that effectively impossible, even if you could rotate the mirrors quickly enough. The light rays would be too unfocussed to properly heat up anything in orbit

Idk if it could take down a satellite I know you don’t know.

I do.

And no it cannot, that’s only in fallout New Vegas. This is not possible to weaponize because: physics.
