Cool idea, there is a town in Austria where the sun doesn't shine in winter and they were going to build something like that on the adjacent mountaintop. I think it never happened, though.

An Italian town did build a mirror to do that.

[edit] Looks like a town in Norway did it as well, and theirs tracks the sun.
