Method of systematically deforming a plane mirror to function as a focusing heliostat of adjustable focal length. A plane mirror is made to deform through the application of force at a number of peripheral points which is opposed by the application of force to the centre area of the mirror. The resulting complex topology functions as a solar mirror capable of concentrating incident sunlight on a distant focal point. By adjusting the degree and location of the forces applied to the mirror, the focal length and degree of concentration of sunlight on the focal point can be adjusted.
