  Light from a mirror

In a construction project of mine a glare report is necessary, whether 
the photovoltaic on the roof can reflect light in an adjacent nature 
reserve.

This is what I want to do with POVRAY myself.

Enter the photovoltaic as a mirror, simulate the sun's run, and then see 
if any of the pictures shows reflected light from the mirror to the 
surrounding ground.

Is there any setting in POVRAY where it is calculated whether a point is 
not only illuminated directly by one of the defined light sources, but 
also checkes whether a ray of light hits the point via surfaces defined 
as mirrors?
