A solar panel window assembly for an aircraft and method of forming such assembly includes an outer window panel and an inner window panel mounted in a window frame structure. The window frame structure holds the outer window panel spaced from and parallel to the inner window panel. A solar panel is mounted on an inner surface of the window frame structure between the outer window panel and the inner window panel. A foam kit may be mounted between the solar panel and the window frame structure. The inner window panel may be an electrically dimmable window panel. The solar panel may be coupled to power the electrically dimmable window panel. In addition, an alternative solar panel window assembly includes a window plug assembly adapted to fit into a window aperture in an aircraft and a solar panel mounted on an outer surface of the window plug assembly.
