Notice the awning is not square or level, and assumed designed to capture the maximum shade from sunlight or solar azimuth and elevation angles based on the building's orientation with its geographic longitude and latitude.
To improve and maximize the light and shading of this awning, the slats could be angled and slightly overlapping to allow morning sunlight to pierce through, and at the same time provide shading from afternoon sunlight. For a relative example see Architectural Rendering ~ Night to Day Walkthrough.
