Abstract
The underlying objective of the paper is to identify and evaluate in the research process vital factors that impact the development of design and construction enterprises of photovoltaic farms on the energy markets, in particular narrowed down to renewable energy sources (RES) markets, including energy coming from photovoltaic sources. The first part of the paper, the epistemological one, introduces a scientific discourse pertaining to conditionings and restrictions related to RES markets in the dimensions of sustainable development. This has been done with the use of literature query, legislative and administrative acts, and reports drawn up for the European Commission. In this reference, we summarized the EU’s essential measures aimed at promoting the idea of sustainability. The second part of the paper, the empirical one, presents a summary of the results obtained within the research pertaining to “opportunities and threats in managing projects of photovoltaic farms in production enterprises of energy appliances”. The research was conducted in a group of 24 design and construction enterprises of photovoltaic farms. The concentration of the research, in the context of the underlying objective of this paper, pertained to the aggregation and evaluation of selected factors that stimulate the development and competitiveness of construction projects and the implementation of photovoltaic farms. We considered the hierarchy of strategic objectives of the investigated enterprises and selected threats to their market position. Two primary criteria were adopted to aggregate and evaluate vital factors that impact the development of design and construction enterprises of PV farms. The first of them is the qualitative one—top scores, weighted averages of respondent evaluations on the five-point Likert scale. The second one is the quantitative criterion—number of indications N ≥ 22 of the respondents (over 90%). A measurable value of the paper is the scientific discourse pertaining to dimensions of competitiveness of the investigated and analyzed enterprises on the RES market, in particular narrowed down to photovoltaic farms.

Summary
The issues pertaining to climate change and the reduction of environmental threats are the primary focus of all the countries of the world that are aware of the fact that only the implementation of sustainable development principles can, in the long run, produce measurable effects in this area. Utilization of energy coming from RES installations, apart from its unquestionable environmental benefits, contributes significantly to an increase in energy security This concerns both small-scale local prosumer installations as well as large energy enterprises and gradually leads to the transition from the centralized model of generating and supplying energy to the one consisting of distributed and dispersed systems. Another factor that promotes the development of the RES market is growing awareness of final customers, who favor energy produced in an environmentally friendly manner [1,2,3]. This knowledge does not come from reports drawn up at the national level, but these very market participants, and the paper depicts its current state of functioning
