Photovoltaic panel packaging steps

What makes a good solar panel packaging design?

A good solar panel packaging design makes it easier to transport solar panels on a pallet, and provide excellent protection to the panels during transport. WINAICO’s solar boxes are so tough that one can withstand the weight of a ton, roughly the weight of a pallet full of solar panels, for an hour.

Do solar panels need packaging?

There are PV manufacturers that reduce their costs to a minimum when it comes to the packaging. There are known cases of pallets of solar panels that were simply covered in plastic. There are better and safer ways to transport your panels. For more details read our feature article on solar panel packaging.

What are the last steps in photovoltaic module production?

Sorting and packing are the last steps in module production. Sorting machines are used in a variety of industries to grade the finished product. In photovoltaic module production, they are used to quickly and accurately separate solar modules into different categories based on their specifications.

How long does it take to stack a solar panel box?

Once an empty box passes the 5-minute test, we can move on to stacking full pallets on top of each other. Our engineers would place a fully loaded solar panel box on top of another full pallet, followed by 3 days of waiting to make sure the two boxes do not lose their shapes.

How do you load solar panels on a transport vehicle?

Loading solar panels onto the vehicle is a critical step. Place the panels on a flat, stable surface within the transport vehicle to minimize movement during the journey. If possible, use straps or similar restraints to secure them in place, ensuring you don’t tighten them excessively to prevent damage.

How should vertically packed panels be secured?

Ideally, you would also want the pallets of the vertically packed panels to be banded and secured with protections so no space is left between the panels for them to move. Not just mechanical stress, but rough handling during loading and unloading and stress vibrations can also cause damage to the panels.
