“Impactos sócio ambientais da implantação dos parques solares fotovoltaicos em São João do Piauí.

Abstract

The production of electric energy from renewable sources, such as solar energy, was leveraged by the concern with the preservation of the environment and the search for variety in the electric matrix, associated with the growing demand for energy and the development of the industry. The environmental impacts caused by solar parks create conflicts, denying access to resources that sustain the livelihoods and cultural identities of traditional communities. The aim of this study is to analyze the possible impacts generated by the installation of photovoltaic plants in the city of São João do Piauí. For a better treatment of the proposed objectives, questionnaires via Google Forms were used as a methodology to assess public opinion about the impacts generated. This research is classified as an approach and qualitative research. Where a bibliographic survey of authors dealing with renewable energy, solar parks was made. It is concluded that any form of energy will cause an environmental impact, whether positive or negative, and that solar energy is growing as a sustainable energy alternative and that one should think about what will be done with the solid waste generated by it when end of the useful life of its products and equipment and thinking about the environmental consequences of being disposed of incorrectly.
