exploitable

Usage Note

Aprovechable describes something that can be put to use or taken advantage of — it shares the root of aprovechar ('to make use of', 'to take advantage of'). The word carries a neutral to positive connotation (a usable resource), unlike the English 'exploitable', which can be negative. In environmental contexts, energía aprovechable means 'harvestable energy', and in agriculture it describes land or produce that can be used.

Examples

"El espacio es aprovechable para instalar paneles solares."
