Spandrel window unit

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a spandrel window unit for a constructed structure. The spandrel window unit may include a laminated structure comprising a first optically transmissive panel, a second panel, a photovoltaic cell between the first and second panels, and a structural layer configured to reduce deformation when temperature exceeds a threshold value. A junction box may be connected to the laminated structure and may include an electrical unit electrically connected to the photovoltaic cell. The junction box may comprise a housing with a base, side walls, and a cavity. An electrical unit may be positioned in the cavity and spaced from the base for thermal isolation. A cover may be connected to the laminated structure and junction box, configured to inhibit separation when temperature exceeds the threshold. A heat sink with outwardly extending fins may be thermally connected to the electrical unit for heat dissipation.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
