1. Protecting Components for Transportation
Whether you're transporting modules, inverters, components or small electronics or cables, all components must be properly protected. It is extremely important to secure the installation components really well for transportation. Even micro-damage, for example, can become a cause of power loss.
2. Packaging Guidelines
Photovoltaic panels should always be transported on pallets in a vertical position, aligned with the long side, and with appropriate spacers. It is essential to ensure that the shipped equipment does not extend beyond the perimeter of the pallet.
If there is empty space on the pallet, fill it with other structural components or filler material. Stabilize the pallet by using additional materials like boards if possible.
Ensure shipment protection by wrapping it with a transparent stretch film, as it provides visibility and safeguards the goods during transit.
Additionally, transparent stretch films are commonly preferred over black films as they enable better scanning and monitoring during transit, reducing the risk of mishandling or damage to the shipment.
3. Consider Customer Expectations
Keep in mind that your customer has likely planned their installation based on a specific timeline. Ensuring that the panels reach them on time is crucial for their project's success. Prioritize efficient shipping methods and reliable logistics partners to meet customer expectations.
