Antimony compounds, particularly antimony trioxide (Sb2O3) and sodium antimonate (NaSbO3), are utilized as fining agents in the manufacturing of patterned solar glass to enhance light transmission. However, the composi�on of solar glass varies, par�cularly in terms of an�mony content, depending on the produc�on method. Newer modules increasingly use Sb-free or low-Sb float glass, which is easier to recycle and poses. Antimony (Sb) is a commonly used refining agent in solar glass. Solar Panel Stewardship will support material traceability and collection streams that will identify this "invisible" metal and support its safe recovery and availability for high-tech markets including reuse in new PV panels. Yet it sits on every major critical mineral list —from the European Union to the United States, Japan, and Australia—to yes, the CMI. because it. The proposed PhD thesis is part of the ANR GRISBI project (2026–2030), which aims to optimize the recycling of glass from photovoltaic (PV) panels.

Firstly, tempered glass is up to four times stronger than standard plate glass. Secondly, tempered glass is considered safe. When it breaks, it will shatter into small pieces reducing the probability of serious injury. Both strength and safety are necessary for the installation of solar PV panels.
Solar applications require flat glass. So-called Pattern Glass is mostly used as front glass in crystalline modules, whilst float glass is used for both substrate and back glass in thin-film modules. Molten glass is slowly cooled and fed off from the motlen tin.
For solar applications the main attributes of glass are transmission, mechanical strength and specific weight. Transmission factors measure the ratio of energy of the transmitted to the incoming light for a specific glass and glass width. Ratio of the total energy from an AM1-5 source over whole solar spectrum from 300 - 2,500nm wavelength.
In thin-film technology, glass also serves as the substrate upon which the photovoltaic material and other chemicals (such as TCO) are deposited. Glass is also the basis for mirrors used to concentrate sunlight, although new technologies avoiding glass are emerging. Most commercial glasses are oxide glasses with similar chemical composition.
