A photovoltaic module having a plurality of photovoltaic cells disposed behind a front cover portion to receive radiation has at least one specular reflector disposed alongside the cells to direct incident radiation back into the front cover portion and onto the photovoltaic cells for conversion to electrical energy. In a preferred embodiment, the specular reflectors have reflective surfaces of concave curvature configured to reflect incident radiation back into the front cover portion for internal reflection onto the photovoltaic cells.
