Benefiting from high growth in emerging markets and accelerated inventory removal in Europe, the inverter business trend is improving. Since the beginning of the year, the price of photovoltaic modules and lithium carbonate for energy storage batteries has dropped sharply, driving down the cost of optical storage systems. Combined with government policy support and rigid demand for optical storage in some countries lacking electricity, optical storage has entered a new cycle of affordability, and demand for optical storage in emerging markets such as Asia, Africa, and Latin America has grown rapidly. At the same time, the removal of European inverters is also accelerating, and demand in Europe is expected to improve. Benefiting from high growth in emerging markets and accelerated inventory removal in Europe, the company's inverter business trend is improving, and profitable overseas markets have boosted the company's performance. Looking ahead to 24Q4 and 25, demand in emerging markets is expected to remain high, and demand is expected to increase after the European inventory release is over. We are optimistic about the company's subsequent performance.
