Las energías renovables son una opción prometedora para la producción de energía, debido a su sostenibilidad y capacidad para reducir las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero. Aunque ofrecen ventajas significativas, como ser recursos inagotables y de bajo impacto climático, su adopción se enfrenta a desafíos ambientales y sociales. La fabricación, instalación, operación y desmantelamiento de tecnologías como los paneles solares pueden generar residuos y alterar ecosistemas. Por lo tanto, es esencial realizar evaluaciones ambientales integrales en todas las etapas de los proyectos de energía renovable, considerando variables del impacto, como la «intensidad», la «extensión» y la «recuperabilidad» del impacto. En el presente artículo, se realiza una evaluación ambiental de un parque solar en La Guajira (Colombia) con la metodología propuesta por Vicente Conesa y se realiza un análisis de posibles medidas de manejo ambiental que minimicen los impactos negativos, lo que garantiza que el desarrollo de estos proyectos sea sostenible y respetuoso.

This review article focuses on agrivoltaic production systems (AV). The transition towards renewable energy sources, driven by the need to respond to climate change, competition for land use, and the scarcity of fossil fuels, has led to the consideration of new ways to optimise land use while producing clean energy. AV systems not only generate energy but also allow agricultural and livestock yields to be maintained or even increased under PV structures, offering a sustainable production strategy that may be more acceptable to local communities than traditional PV installations. This review assesses the technical feasibility of AV systems, the environmental, economic and social benefits, as well as the challenges faced and the legal framework regulating their implementation. It is highlighted that despite the advantages in land use efficiency and dual food and energy production, there are important challenges related to the initial investment required, the need for technological adaptation, social and regulatory obstacles, or the effects of shading on production. This paper underlines the importance of further research and development of these systems to overcome technical and economic constraints and maximise their potential benefits. It is concluded that although they present significant challenges, AV management offers promising opportunities to improve land efficiency and contribute to several sustainable development goals.
