Alternatives to antimony in solar glass

4 FAQs about [Alternatives to antimony in solar glass]

Should antimony-free glass be used in New solar panels?

“ROSI advocates for antimony-free glass in new solar panels installed in Europe, notably through the Ecolabel directive, as it opens more doors for recycling,” he explained.

Does solar glass contain antimony?

However, the composition of solar glass varies, especially concerning antimony (Sb) content, depending on the production method. Antimony is used to enhance the performance of patterned solar glass but introduces environmental and health concerns, complicating recycling efforts.

Can you recycle solar glass with antimony?

This makes recycling solar glass with antimony both costly and technically challenging. Transporting glass cullets (crushed glass ready for recycling) also presents a logistical challenge, as their low density makes transport costly and inefficient. What is the regulatory support for solar glass recycling?

How can the US reduce antimony levels in solar glass?

The U.S. could also implement a threshold for antimony levels in solar glass, gradually reducing the allowable amount over time. This would encourage manufacturers to phase out the use of antimony in their production processes and facilitate more straightforward recycling in U.S. facilities.
