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?

I think the Photons option of POVRay does what you want.

The feature you're probably looking for is "photon mapping": In essence,
you'd tell POV-Ray: "Look what happens to light that hts this mirror",
and POV-Ray would take into account such reflected light.
To this end, you'd have to enable photon mapping /per se/, and define
the mirror as a "photon target".

Use photons mapping with the following setup :
1) In the global_settings block, create a photons block
2) Set your mirror as a target with "reflection on" with an object level
photons block
3) Make your Sun a spot light directed at the mirror
4) Make the ground white
5) Place the camera overhead looking down
In point 3, you confine the light to only the mirror, plunging the rest
of the scene into darkness. This will make the area illuminated by the
reflected light stand out.
To see the path of the reflection, you can create an animation where the
Sun follow it's normal path for the location.
You can use ambient in the finish of your ground or some fill light if
you want to see more of the ground.
