Curtain wall unit

Abstract

The objective of this invention is to facilitate the testing of the power generation performance of a curtain wall unit equipped with individual solar cells. The solution provided by this invention is as follows: The curtain wall unit 12 includes: a solar cell module, which is formed by sandwiching a solar cell layer 34 between a pair of glass plates 14; and a frame 30, which supports the outer periphery of the glass plates 14. The frame 30 includes a lower horizontal frame member 30b disposed below the glass plates 14. A junction box 32 is disposed in the space 39 between the lower horizontal frame member 30b and the lower end of the glass plates 14, for extracting the electrical energy generated by the individual solar cells; and wiring cables.
