Transporting photovoltaic panels above the factory

Transporting solar panels can be a delicate operation. Their large size, weight, and the fragility of their glass surface pose significant challenges. But, with a careful approach and detailed planning, you can successfully transport them without damage.

Using our global network of air and sea carriers, we design a solar energy logistics solution that transports your solar panels or solar panel components efficiently and safely to their destination. Furthermore, if you need a special transport solution for your solar energy components, our project transport logistics team is ready to help with .

So what do manufacturers do to ship panels without damaging them? Usually, to transport solar panels, a pallet is used. Here is how a good company packs it: • First panels go on the pallet bottoms up and the last one is placed front side up. • Corner protectors and foam pads across the frame are added.

How to Properly Ship, Handle and Store Solar Panels. Shipping solar panels and storing them safely is a process that unfortunately doesn’t have industry standards across the globe. But here at Crown LSP Group, we have designed a detailed and stringent process to ensure your solar panels are securely handled.

Below, we explain the basic contours and important aspects of solar panel logistics. Controlling The Shipment Some manufacturers will offer to help with shipping the modules from their factory to the destination port.

4 FAQs about [Transporting photovoltaic panels above the factory]

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.

The installation of solar panels is usually handled by professionals. Normally, they would use a mechanical lift to get your panels up on the roof.

What are the components of a photovoltaic panel system?

There are two sets of elements in the photovoltaic panel system: power supply (meters, inverters, DC isolation switches) and the panel, i.e., connectors, mounting, and trackers. The importer should ensure that all these components comply with the requirements of the European Union market.

Are photovoltaic panels legal in Europe?

The main European document regulating photovoltaic panels on the market is the Regulation (EU) No 305/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2011. It lays down harmonized conditions for the marketing of construction products.
