Release: ESIA Recommendation Paper
Given that glass constitutes a substantial portion of PV module weight, recycling glass proves environmentally beneficial by reducing CO
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.
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.
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.
Test results published by SPF establish that Antimony free glass by Borosil has nil photo-degradation and the highest efficiency amongst the solar glasses.
