Concepção de um modelo de negócios para o desempenho competitivo do final da vida útil de sistemas fotovoltaicos

Abstract

The solar energy market has experienced record growth worldwide in recent years. Consequently, the number of manufactured and installed photovoltaic equipment grows at the same rate. Over the years, such equipment has approached its end of life (End-of-life, EoL). The sustainability of photovoltaic technology is put at stake when EoL PV is highlighted since it is found with a gap all over the world. This theme needs studies and discussions, evidenced as a segment with great potential for development. In this sense, the present study aims to create, deliver and capture value to EoL FV by developing a business model. As specific objectives, this study brings to the forefront the contextualization of the Critical Success Factors (CSF) that drive competitiveness in EoL PV to fill the existing gap in EoL PV. In the background is mapping the relationship between EoL FV and its agents in the value chain. Thirdly, through statistical content analysis, opinion-taking with sector agents about the EoL FV. Finally, to propose a business model through the Business Model Canvas (BMC) to be successful and achieve the expected results in terms of the sustainability and competitiveness of the sector, for which the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) technique will be applied to the business model prototype.
