Abstract
The large collection area of solar test facilities has potential for certain astronomical experiments. Since only nighttime hours are utilised there need be no conflict with the daytime solar research activity. Although solar concentrators are optically crude by conventional astronomical telescope standards, there are certain applications where the angular resolutions of 0.25° can be tolerated. These applications are discussed and some results from the nighttime use of large concentrators are presented.
