Default Solar panel/mirror question

How much energy can mirrors focus onto a solar panel before it begins to
melt? 2x?10x? 100x? It's an SSPS based question. Could large light-weight
mirrors and small solar arrays replace the traditional massive structures of
the NASA 1980s design study? This is something I haven't found in all my
googling.

Anyone here know?

John
