Solar Containers is a portable energy revolution for all uses
Below is a narrative description of how a solar-powered shipping container is revolutionising the face of access to global energy,off-grid energy, grid backup, and clean
Heavy solar equipment can't always be delivered in a standard shipping van or shipping container, it's at risk of being damaged during transit, and it needs to arrive onsite according to energy project timelines. Effective supply chain management requires top-notch renewable energy logistics.
Successful final-mile logistics is a careful science regardless of the commodity being delivered, but solar panels come with distinct challenges.
Solar panel shipments are transported globally through a complex international supply chain – involving manufacturers, freight forwarders, foreign and domestic Customs brokers, warehousing providers, and last-mile logistics companies who ensure the panels get to their destination on time and on budget.
Solar panels are palletized and carefully packaged using protective materials to avoid damage during both domestic and international transit. If the load is over-dimensional or overweight, it may not fit in a conventional van and could require the use of a flatbed trailer.
