A system for insulating a curtain wall structure is provided. The system includes framing defined by vertically disposed and parallel mullions separated by a mullion distance; a first curtain wall insulation panel disposed within the framing and having a longitudinally extending indentation; and a second curtain wall insulation panel disposed within the framing and having a longitudinally extending protrusion. The curtain wall insulation panels are disposed within the framing such that the protrusion of the second panel is at least partially disposed within the indentation of the first panel. The panels can be comprised of mineral wool. The system has a flame rating of at least 2 hours, as measured in accordance with ASTM E2307. Also provided are an insulated curtain wall component that includes similar first and second curtain wall insulation panels and a curtain wall insulation panel suitable for use in the systems and components described herein.
