The transport of solar panels and all the components associated with this type of renewable energy can be done by road by truck or rail, by air or by container ship. What issues need to be considered when transporting photovoltaic solar panels? Suitable packaging: The first step is to ensure proper packaging for the solar panels.
The reasons can range anywhere from rough handling of the packed modules to vibrations or shocks that occur in the back of a truck, on rail, or during transshipment on the sea. The most common damages to solar panels are breakages and cracks of the solar cells in the modules. Very often, they are visible directly to the human eye.
Statistics show that almost 5% of panel damages occur during shipping and transportation. 80% of globally installed solar PV modules are produced in Asia, primarily in Taiwan, Malaysia, the Philippines, and approximately 50% in China. The journey of these modules to reach their destination is long.
Solar PV panels are fragile, and even perfectly produced panels can get damaged, scratched, or non-functional due to poor logistic services.
To be on the safe side, collecting data on the journey of solar panels by monitoring the environmental conditions during transit might reveal damage hotspots and also comes in handy during the claims process. Inspect the solar panel before shipping for any apparent damage. Pack your panels vertically.
The most common damages to solar panels are breakages and cracks of the solar cells in the modules. Very often, they are visible directly to the human eye. Micro-cracks, however, are so small they are impossible to see with the naked eye. These micro-cracks negatively affect the panel life expectancy and performance in the long term.
