The increasing spread of photovoltaic (PV) systems occurring nowadays does not always keep pace with respective legislative initiatives, especially those regarding a specific relation between PV systems, the natural environment and landscape. As a result of this differentiation, the existence of legislative gaps or omissions is noticed. Thus, while the development of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) is actively promoted by the government in general, from a legal point of view there are no equivalent preventive measures for the protection and preservation of physical environment and landscape aesthetics, at least in all types of RES, with the exception of wind farms. In fact, in the case of PV systems, there is no specific legal framework, which would regulate their integration in the environment, and in particular into landscape.
