Classic Space Based Solar Power with orbital PV, masers, and rectenna farms is a long way from making sense even at Starship launch costs, but I wonder about the possibility of simple orbital mirror constellations that just reflect extra sunlight onto existing solar farms,

Pretty much anything that you can do on the ground should be done on the ground.
But for warming up Mars, reflectors made on Phobos & Deimos could be a good way to go.
