4 FAQs about Proportion of antimony oxide in solar glass

How much antimony is in solar glass?

World Health Organization (WHO): A limit of 5 ppb. California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA): A public health goal of 1 ppb for Antimony. Proportion of Antimony in solar glass is typically 0.2% to 0.3% (2 to 3 million ppb). Each PV module has a front glass weighing about 16 kg and thus an Antimony content of 32 to 48 grams.

What is antimony oxide?

Antimony oxide is a conditional glass former and simple binary SiO2-Sb2O3[22, 23], B2O3-Sb2O3[24, 25] and P2O5-Sb2O3glasses, and more complex glasses [11, 13, , , , , ], have all been studied to gain new and fundamental composition-structure-property understanding.

Should PV module manufacturers be required to disclose antimony compounds?

To address these challenges, the ESIA Recommendation paper suggests that the European Union should consider mandating PV module manufacturers under the upcoming Ecodesign regulations to disclose the composition and manufacturing process of solar glass, including additives like antimony compounds.

Can Borosil remove antimony from solar glass?

Borosil has been able to successfully remove the Antimony from Solar glass. Institut fur Solartechnik SPF, SWITZERLAND, widely considered a GOLD STANDARD for testing and certification of solar glass publishes on its website, test results of solar glass from some of the top solar glass manufacturers in the world.

Release: ESIA Recommendation Paper Addressing uncertain antimony

Given that glass constitutes a substantial portion of PV module weight, recycling glass proves environmentally beneficial by reducing CO 2 emissions and conserving energy.

NoSbEra Antimony Free Solar Glass

Proportion of Antimony in solar glass is typically 0.2% to 0.3% (2 to 3 million ppb). Each PV module has a front glass weighing about 16 kg and thus an Antimony content of 32 to 48 grams.

The Dark Side of Solar Glass: Antimony, Geopolitics and the

Industry estimates suggest typical solar glass contains on the order of 0.2–0.3% antimony by weight; one analysis pegs it at about 0.25%, or roughly 40 grams of antimony in

Composition-structure-property effects of antimony in soda-lime

In addition to the study of antimony as a refining and decolourising agent, other effects of antimony in oxide glass have also received attention.
