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. These glasses, predominantly
Addressing uncertain antimony content in solar glass for recycling Endorsements, adoptions of opinions and recommendations in this paper do not necessarily represent the
2. Antimony Containing Solar PV Panels Antimony is used in solar panel glass to improve stability of the solar performance of the glass upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation
This study investigates the reaction between PV panel glass and contaminants generated during its disassembly, especially antimony oxide in PV glass and Si contaminants
Herein, antimony doped tin oxide (ATO) on glass was introduced onto the silicon solar cells. ATO is a kind of transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) with promising applications
Antimony is a highly toxic element, present at remote locations in our planet, and is used in some glasses to enhance its optical performances. Antimony is not present in common glasses,
The same study also reported that antimony trioxide leaches from solar glass after prolonged contact with water and subsequently undergoes hydrolysis, forming the antimony oxo anion
This work investigates the full-spectrum optical and photothermal properties of Antimony Tin Oxide (ATO)-coated glass for application in energy-efficient building glazing.
However, the composition of solar glass varies, especially concerning antimony (Sb) content, depending on the production method. Antimony is used to enhance the performance
The European photovoltaic container market is experiencing significant growth in Central and Eastern Europe, with demand increasing by over 350% in the past four years. Containerized solar solutions now account for approximately 45% of all temporary and mobile solar installations in the region. Poland leads with 40% market share in the CEE region, driven by construction site power needs, remote industrial operations, and emergency power applications that have reduced energy costs by 55-65% compared to diesel generators. The average system size has increased from 30kW to over 200kW, with folding container designs cutting transportation costs by 70% compared to traditional solutions. Emerging technologies including bifacial modules and integrated energy management have increased energy yields by 20-30%, while modular designs and local manufacturing have created new economic opportunities across the solar container value chain. Typical containerized projects now achieve payback periods of 3-5 years with levelized costs below $0.08/kWh.
Containerized energy storage solutions are revolutionizing power management across Europe's industrial and commercial sectors. Mobile 20ft and 40ft BESS containers now provide flexible, scalable energy storage with deployment times reduced by 75% compared to traditional stationary installations. Advanced lithium-ion technologies (LFP and NMC) have increased energy density by 35% while reducing costs by 30% annually. Intelligent energy management systems now optimize charging/discharging cycles based on real-time electricity pricing, increasing ROI by 45-65%. Safety innovations including advanced thermal management and integrated fire suppression have reduced risk profiles by 85%. These innovations have improved project economics significantly, with commercial and industrial energy storage projects typically achieving payback in 2-4 years through peak shaving, demand charge reduction, and backup power capabilities. Recent pricing trends show standard 20ft containers (200kWh-800kWh) starting at €85,000 and 40ft containers (800kWh-2MWh) from €160,000, with flexible financing including lease-to-own and energy-as-a-service models available.
