NOVELTY - The unit (110) has a masonry block (100) including a depression (102) that is defined by an outer surface, which extends in a raised area on an outward facing side of the masonry block. A photovoltaic unit (106) is secured within the depression with a back surface of a rigid support structure attached to the outer surface of the masonry block. The photovoltaic unit comprises a pass though wire adhered to a surface of a backer board opposite photovoltaic cells (104), where the pass though wire is electrically isolated from the photovoltaic cells.    USE - Photovoltaic-clad masonry unit for harvesting renewable energy from various places to provide solar power to unattended buildings, signs and off-grid buildings. Uses include but are not limited to highway sound-walls, bridges, parking structures, railroad rights-of-way and property walls.    ADVANTAGE - The masonry unit provides electrical terminals with conducting pins and clamping connectors that are designed to allow variation in distance across a mortar joint from block to block, so that flexibility in wiring design and installation can be improved, thus protecting block-to-block connections. The masonry unit provides strength to the solar cells, thus protecting the solar cells from damage, and eliminating the need for expensive metal framework support for the cells. The backer board can serve as a thermal sink to help transfer heat and potentially reduce high operating temperature of the photovoltaic cells. The masonry unit allows a gasket to provide a mechanical seal that fills space between the Photovoltaic unit and the masonry unit and to prevent air, water or other contaminants from entering into the photovoltaic unit.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The masonry unit comprises a pre-printed label made of a dissolvable material.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a schematic diagram illustrating a process for integrating a photovoltaic-clad masonry unit into a building wall.
