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...

has the greatest effect on


Explanation:
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.

neutral  Jennifer Levey: "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.
