The typical solar module travels hundreds or even thousands of miles from the factory to the project site, and during this long journey they are packaged, palleted, and loaded and unloaded repeatedly before reaching their final destination. The vast majority of the millions of modules shipped every year arrive safely, but improper handling can result in damaged or broken modules – and potentially significant unexpected costs and delays for solar projects.

Between accelerating solar industry growth, the increasing adoption of large format modules, and the gradual easing of pandemic-era supply chain disruptions, proper module handling has become a more urgent priority than ever. As a Tier 1 solar company, LONGi prides itself on working closely with freight carriers, EPC site teams, logistics providers, and customers to help ensure awareness of best handling practices every step along the way.

We’ve refreshed our PV module unpacking, handling and storing guide to reflect updated guidance for shipments of LONGi’s full range of products, including our 54, 60, 66, and 72-cell solar modules.
