Written summary
AKCOME is a Chinese solar manufacturer headquartered in Zhejiang Province, founded in 2006 and listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 2011. The company previously held BloombergNEF Tier 1 bankability status and reported annual module production capacity of approximately 3.8 GW, operating across more than 30 countries. However, a significant development unfolded in 2024 when a core subsidiary, Zhejiang Akcome Photoelectricity Technology, filed for bankruptcy citing an inability to meet debt obligations. By January 2025, industry tracking services delisted AKCOME modules when the company's web presence became inaccessible. Sunpro Power, operating as Zhejiang Sunpro Power Technology Co., Ltd. and also based in Zhejiang, was founded in 2008 and has maintained BloombergNEF Tier 1 status for five consecutive years through Q1 2026. In the first quarter of 2025, Sunpro announced a 3 GW capacity expansion. On institutional footprint, Sunpro Power is clearly the stronger-standing brand as of mid-2025.
AKCOME built its catalog around PERC, TOPCon (its AK iTopper series), and HJT (AK iPower series) modules aimed primarily at residential and mid-scale commercial rooftop applications. Its mounting system division - rated at around 5 GW per year - was a secondary differentiator for integrated project developers. Sunpro Power currently offers TOPCon, HJT, and Back Contact (BC) cell technologies across a module range that spans from compact residential units to high-wattage panels exceeding 700 W targeting utility-scale ground mounts. Its products carry TUV, UL, and CE certifications, allowing access to European, North American, and Australian markets simultaneously.
For any buyer in 2025, Sunpro Power is the safer default choice. The confirmed BNEF Tier 1 bankability, continued operational capacity, and multi-technology portfolio make it a credible option for residential, commercial, and utility-scale projects alike. AKCOME, despite a previously solid track record, carries real uncertainty following its bankruptcy proceedings, which directly affects long-term warranty confidence and supply chain reliability - two factors that are non-negotiable in financed solar projects.
