Would it be possible for a nation with 19th century to very early 20th Century technology and history and hot desert climate to utilize solar power for electrical generation as a substitute for coal or replace the use of coal in any other way?
Hope this question is more to the liking of this stack exchange.
There is not an abundance of national coal however rivers and ocean could allow for importation of coal.

Not in the way you asked the question, absolutely not. If it wasn't done back then, it can't be done with 19th century technology, that would be a paradox. But I assume you dont mean literally 19th century technology but something else? Perhaps instead of asking this question, describe what you want to do first and then tell us the exact part, details are king here, that you are unsure about or don't know how to do.

Yes, they could. You "just" need a large mirror to concentrate sunlight on a boiler to produce the steam. Power plants that use this principle are in use today: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivanpah_Solar_Power_Facility
The first problem you have is with economy. Burning coal is just way too cheap if you have it available, and it's much easier to get a few megawatts of heat out of burning coal than it is to get the same amount of heat from mirrors. Simply because you need about one square meter of mirror for each kilowatt of sunlight you want to collect, and the mirror needs to be continuously adjusted to the sun. A single man shoveling coal into an engine produces much, much more than just a single kilowatt of heat...
You can offset the economy problem by making coal hard-to-get in your country.
However, the second problem remains: Efficiency. Early steam engines were brutally inefficient, turning only 1% or 2% (Watt's optimized version!) of the heat into actual mechanical work. So, if you have a giant 10x10m mirror ($100m^2$), you only get 1kW or 2kW of usable power output. Anything that requires more energy than that quickly becomes infeasible to power with the many, enormous mirrors you need, which all require man-power to adjust to the sun continuously.
Of course, you can offset this by a) allowing close to modern steam turbines, and b) fancy clockworks that automagically adjust the mirrors. Nevertheless, it remains difficult to get the power from the power plants to where it's actually needed.

Any use of electricity or any other use of coal is what I am asking from powering a city to a solar cooker would be relevant. On the other hand I do get that the main use of electricity for the majority of that time period is electrical lighting. Not every area would be connected to water ways so while demand may not realistically exist in every city without the right political decisions some parts of the nation could still prefer a solar option.

Not in the way you asked the question, absolutely not. If it wasn't done back then, it can't be done with 19th century technology, that would be a paradox. But I assume you dont mean literally 19th century technology but something else? Perhaps instead of asking this question, describe what you want to do first and then tell us the exact part, details are king here, that you are unsure about or don't know how to do.

Not with solar panels, no, but remember that coal IS solar indirectly.

Sorry, but could you state directly what "h se" is, because when I google it, the results are confusing and not related to your question.

In daytime they had daylight, and solar power does not work at night (at least not with any imaginable technology of the time), this would put a crimp in the development of electric light...
