The set of second-hand batteries, with a total capacity of 130kWh, stores the energy obtained from the 1.2-MWp plant to inject it in the grid and analyse its performance and behaviour.
The innovation project is rounded off by a comparative analysis to check the capacity of the recycled batteries to see if they can offer the same performance as new batteries.
