The goal is to fill the gaps in the literature on PV/wind systems, placing emphasis on new technologies and environmental issues. Regarding the methodology used: i) the gaps in the literature on PV/wind systems have been identified (literature review); ii) a case study based on environmental Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is presented. The literature review shows that there is a dearth of research on technologies such as PV/wind floating systems and small wind turbines for buildings. Moreover, there is a need for more studies on PV/wind systems with smart technologies, taking into account their life-cycle environmental impacts. The case study (LCA; software: SimaPro; database: ecoinvent) demonstrates that there are striking differences between PV and wind power plants, and the Spanish electricity mix. For instance, the CO2.eq emissions are as follows: 63, 14 and 308 g CO2.eq/kWh for a PV system, a wind turbine and the Spanish electricity mix, respectively. Information about key materials (Si; steel) and avoided impacts is also provided, shedding light on major environmental issues.The authors from Spain would like to thank the Spanish MCIN for the PID2022-142601OB-I00/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and TED2021- 132843B-I00/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 grants.
