Iron content of solar glass

4 FAQs about [Iron content of solar glass]

How much iron is in solar glass?

As one of the most crucial components of solar installations, photovoltaic glass demands high transparency. Therefore, strict requirements are imposed on the iron content in the silicon raw materials used for producing solar glass, with Fe2O3 content typically ranging from 140 to 150 ppm.

How much iron is in glass?

Traditional glass typically has a ferric oxide content of close to 0.1%. This oxide is one of three key iron oxides of iron. Manufacturers have managed to get ferric oxide levels down to just 0.01% in low-iron glass. Standard clear glass’s higher iron content means that it has a blue-green tinge.

What is low iron solar glass?

Low iron solar glass offers numerous compelling advantages that make it the preferred choice for solar energy applications. First and foremost, its exceptional transparency allows for up to 91% light transmission, significantly higher than conventional glass, directly translating to improved solar panel efficiency and increased energy generation.

How does iron affect the color of glass?

The presence of iron impurities not only causes the glass to become colored but also increases its heat absorption rate, thereby reducing its light transmission. Iron in glass comes from raw materials, refractory materials, or metal equipment used in production, and it is impossible to completely avoid its presence.
