They are beaming sensitive information to alien spacecraft.

Seriously though: in the right side of the shot you can see some solar panels.

if those panels were directly in the path of the sun, the would soak in an amount of solar energy that is proportional to their surface area and the normal intensity of the sunlight.

In this case, instead they use that large array of curved mirrors to focus the sunlight towards the panels. the amount of energy the solar arrays soak up is thus increased because the area is the same but the intensity is higher due to the focusing.

Obviously the mirror setup needs to be fairly large (as it is) and have a pretty long focal length (as it appears to) in order to have the focused light still provide 100% coverage area-wise of the solar panels.
