END-OF-LIFE MANAGEMENT: SOLAR PV STORAGE IN BRAZIL

Resumo

The purpose of this template is to evidence of the benefits of recycling batteries. The research focused on the recycling process of industries located in Brazil. As known is an activity of environmental risk and public health, but that carried out with safety and responsibility, it brings economic, environmental and social benefits, within the limits of the legislation. In this sense the lead-acid batteries, although it is a technology in transition process to give way to other types of battery, in some cases still the best cost-benefit ratio. For solar applications, what has been done over the last few years are adaptations or structural modifications over conventional batteries in order to improve their behavior in the operating conditions of solar systems.
