AKCOME vs Huasun - solar panel manufacturer comparison

Huasun is a Chinese manufacturer headquartered in Anhui province, founded with a singular focus on heterojunction (HJT) cell technology. The company achieved BloombergNEF Tier 1 bankability status in Q1 2023, reportedly in record time for an HJT specialist, and by the end of 2024 had built out roughly 20 GW of combined HJT cell and module production capacity - making it the largest dedicated HJT producer in the world, with cumulative shipments exceeding 13 GW across more than 80 countries. AKCOME is a Chinese manufacturer founded in 2006 and originally headquartered in Zhejiang province, which held BloombergNEF Tier 1 status and once reported module capacity of approximately 3.8 GW. However, the company has faced severe financial distress: a subsidiary entered court-supervised bankruptcy reorganization in July 2024, its shares were delisted from the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in August 2024 after trading below 1 yuan for 20 consecutive days, and it was removed from TaiyangNews Top Solar Modules tracking in early 2025 when its website became inaccessible. Huasun holds a substantially stronger and more stable institutional footprint.

Huasun's product lineup covers the full spectrum of deployment contexts - its G12 and G12R Himalaya series target large-format utility and commercial ground mounts, while the G12R-96 colored modules serve residential rooftops, and specialized lines such as the V-Ocean address offshore floating PV. All products are built around n-type HJT cells, which deliver a notably low temperature coefficient and strong bifacial output. AKCOME historically offered PERC and, more recently, TOPCon n-type modules aimed at mainstream residential and commercial rooftop installers, but the current status of its manufacturing lines and product availability outside Australia and a few other markets is uncertain given its restructuring.

For any buyer evaluating these two brands in 2025, the choice is not symmetrical. Huasun is an actively scaling, bankable manufacturer with a clear technology identity and a growing global distribution footprint. AKCOME's ongoing restructuring means warranty backstop, supply continuity, and long-term service support are all genuinely uncertain - risks that are difficult to accept on a 25-year asset. Unless AKCOME demonstrates a completed and credible reorganization, Huasun is the safer default for residential, commercial, and utility buyers alike, and its HJT efficiency premium makes it particularly attractive for space-constrained or high-irradiance projects.
