While float glass is most common in solar panels, patterned glass also contains antimony, a compound that improves solar glass efficiency but raises environmental and health concerns on the backend.

Solar glass typically contains 0.25% antimony, and the front glass of each solar photovoltaic module weighs about 16 kilograms, so each module contains approximately 40 grams of

The production of this significant amount of (77.1–178 Mt) glass annually will place considerable pressure on raw materials, such as antimony (Sb), which is essential for PV glass

Solar glass can be either low-iron paterned glass or low-iron float glass. Both can be recycled if the quality is acceptable, but this depends on the glass composi on and the end product to be produced.
