Environmental Assessment Impact - PV Plant
Source text:
Especifique las acciones del proyecto [fotovoltáico] sobre el paisaje
El paisaje, es un factor ambiental de primer orden y es el aspecto ambiental sobre el que más incide este tipo de energía, y que tiene más difícil corrección cuando las plantas solares se instalan en medios rurales tal y como sucederá en el presente proyecto.
My try:
Please, indicate actions [to be taken] by the PV project [to protect the project] landscape.
Landscape is a key environmental factor, and it is the environmental aspect mostly affected by this sort of energy...

which suffers most from
In everyday (UK) native English (where, out of empathy for the eternal sufferer, we tend to turn these things around and express them in the passive voice):
es el aspecto ambiental sobre el que más incide ...
-->
is the environmental aspect which most suffers from [this kind of project]
es el aspecto ambiental sobre el que más incide ...
-->
is the environmental aspect which most suffers from [this kind of project]

has the greatest effect on
I think if the sentence is recast a little bit, it works better in English:
"... It is the aspect that this type of energy project has the greatest effect on, and that is the most difficult to remediate ..."
Strictly speaking, the natural landscape is not affected by this type of energy, but by this type of energy project.
"... It is the aspect that this type of energy project has the greatest effect on, and that is the most difficult to remediate ..."
Strictly speaking, the natural landscape is not affected by this type of energy, but by this type of energy project.

: "effect on" does not properly convey the deleterious impact of PV technology on the landscape.

I agree with you, Robin, about the "deleterious impact" of these projects on the environment; I just don't see this strong language in the ST. "Incidir" can be to influence, to affect, maybe to impinge, but I don't see a basis for stronger than that.
