AKCOME METALS exhibited new vertical mounting system and BIPV carport mounting systems to meet the practical application needs of the Japanese photovoltaic market. Japan's land is relatively small and has a mountainous and hilly landscape. AKCOME METALS has developed a vertical support system that can be applied to a variety of agricultural activities, including crop planting, pasture management and environmental upgrades which can effectively prevent snow accumulation, dust and avoid the risk of component collapse.

After efforts in the Japanese market several years, the iCapower BIPV carport mounting system has received widespread praise for its high standards of quality and has reached multiple project cooperation. In response to extreme weather such as blizzards and typhoons that occur frequently in Japan, AKCOME's BIPV carport system underwent rigorous ballast testing during the research and development stage, and achieved great breakthroughs in terms of tensile strength, shear resistance and earthquake resistance.
