A modular photovoltaic louvered device having a rectangular framework; a plurality of photovoltaic louvre panels engaged in parallel within the framework, and electrical connector bearings interfacing each louvre panel and the framework, allowing the panels to rotate through a range and electrically connecting each panel to electronics within the framework. Each louvre panel includes: a transparent outer; a plurality of upper upwardly orientated photovoltaic cells operatively facing an upper surface; a plurality of lower downwardly orientated photovoltaic cells facing a lower surface; and a reflector located between the lower photovoltaic cells and the transparent outer. Each of the plurality of upper and lower photovoltaic cells occupy a surface area less than the photovoltaic louvre panels such that, light may pass through the transparent outer to a photovoltaic panel beneath such that the light captured by the device is increased by the lower photovoltaic cells being able to receive reflected light.
