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.

Amount of antimony metal used in solar glass

However, manufacturing this amount of PV requires a critical evaluation of material demands, particularly antimony (Sb), which is widely used in PV glass production.

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. However, the
