4 FAQs about Standards for arsenic content 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.

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.

What happens if a solar glass substrate is defective?

As in all other glass manufacturing processes, solar glass substrates are subject to defects during produc-tion. Depending on the defect type and intensity, the impact of these defects can range from a reduced transmission to a considerable negative influence on the mechanical glass characteristics.

What is a solar glass substrate?

Manufacturers of crystalline silicon solar modules apply glass substrates on the front side of the solar modules. This front glass will either be a patterned glass or a glass with anti-reflective coating (AR). As in all other glass manufacturing processes, solar glass substrates are subject to defects during produc-tion.
