Has anyone done anything making prisims or reflectors small enough to be oriented electronically like a LCD display? It would lay flat on the roof and require no electric motors linkages and other nonsense.
At first it sounds way too expensive but there may be short cuts.

Yes. Some projection TVs work with a MEMS device that is essentially a bunch of mirrors mounted on tiny diving boards. Try this link for how they work:
There are chips with about a million mirrors for xvga projectors.
That may be more expensive than silicon photovoltaic.
