AKCOME vs Solarfam - solar panel manufacturer comparison
AKCOME has the broader catalog (3 vs 0 models). AKCOME leans bifacial (100% of lineup).
Both catalogues are read from the manufacturers' own datasheets. A brand is not scored against the market here, only against the other brand on this page.

Catalogue against catalogue
An average over a catalogue describes the range a manufacturer publishes, not the module you would buy. A brand with two flagship panels and eighty older ones averages worse than one that has retired its back catalogue.

Written summary
Solarfam is a Netherlands-based solar equipment wholesaler and small-scale panel producer, operating under the parent entity Solmax New Energy B.V. in Nieuwegein. It primarily serves the Dutch market and has not been identified on any publicly available BloombergNEF Tier 1 module list; its production footprint appears limited to a niche catalog of lower-wattage crystalline panels. AKCOME (formally Suzhou AKCOME Optronics Science and Technology Co., Ltd.) was founded in China in 2006 and listed on the Chinese stock exchange in 2010, with manufacturing facilities in Suzhou and Ganzhou, Jiangsu Province. It holds BloombergNEF Tier 1 bankability recognition, exports to more than 30 countries, and employs over 6,000 people. In both institutional scale and global reach, AKCOME is clearly the larger and more established manufacturer.
AKCOME's catalog is built entirely around heterojunction (HJT) cell technology, a key differentiator in the premium module segment. Its current lineup targets commercial rooftop and utility-scale ground-mount projects, with its recent "Infinite" series incorporating 0BB (busbars-free) architecture and bifacial construction - credentials validated by TUV NORD. The company has publicly reported lab-level HJT cell efficiencies above 25%. Solarfam, by contrast, offers a modest range of monocrystalline panels in roughly the 60-200 Wp bracket, alongside inverters, storage systems, and charge controllers - a portfolio more suited to small residential or off-grid applications, with no confirmed adoption of TOPCon or HJT cell technology.
For a buyer evaluating panels in 2025, AKCOME is the more credible default for any commercial, industrial, or utility-scale project where bankability and high-efficiency HJT modules matter. Solarfam may serve a niche audience with lower-power residential or off-grid European requirements, but lacks the scale and technology depth to compete directly with AKCOME on mainstream procurement criteria. These two brands are not interchangeable - they occupy fundamentally different market tiers.
