Industrial enterprises, the agricultural sector, and communities \u2013 together with investors, EPC contractors, and installers \u2013 are building PV plants with energy storage systems, funded either independently or through grants and loans. According to our forecasts, the main growth vectors for 2025\u20132026 will be: agrivoltaics, self-consumption PV systems, and energy storage installations.
