4 FAQs about How to place photovoltaic panels during transportation

How to transport solar panels?

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. • Usually a piece of cardboard or plastic is placed in between every two panels.

Can solar panels be transported around the world?

Unfortunately, the protocol for transporting PV modules that would become a standard for everybody hasn't been developed yet. Solar industry is still young, and panels from manufacturers around the world are all different. However, some lessons have been learned and general guidelines for moving solar panels around are already worked out.

Can you move solar panels around?

However, some lessons have been learned and general guidelines for moving solar panels around are already worked out. What solar panels fear is mechanical pressure. Improper handling or bad placement can cause microcracks in PV modules which immediately lower their power.

Can solar panels be damaged during transport?

Although proper packaging of the solar panels can greatly reduce the risk of damage during transport, there are ways they can be damaged. Rough handling and loading, workers walking on pallets, improper lifting with forklifts, and stress vibrations from being driven on bumpy roads can all lead to damage.
