A retractable awning has a frame structure with a plurality of louvers traversing a frame opening. Each louver is pivotally attached to enable rotation. The system is provided with electric motors and mechanical actuators to raise and lower the frame as well as rotate the louvers. Additionally, the angle of the entire awning and length of deployment is selectable. The awning can also be secured by closing the louvers and locking the frame to the building, thus forming a protective cover for the respective door or window against severe storms, looting, theft, or the like.
