Abstract
The present disclosure provides a device for generating electricity. The device includes first and third panels that are each at least partially transmissive for visible light and are spaced apart from each other. The first panel defines a light receiving surface. The device further includes first and second photovoltaic elements. The first photovoltaic element is arranged in a first orientation with respect to the light receiving surface and the second photovoltaic element being arranged in a second orientation that is different to both the orientation of the first photovoltaic element and the orientation of the light receiving surface. The first photovoltaic element and the second photovoltaic element are located within a projection of the circumference of the first panel in a direction along a surface normal of the first panel.
