Photovoltaic modules are large-format glass surfaces with sensitive cell connectors – microcracks from impacts or incorrect stacking are often not visible on the outside, but they cost performance and warranty claims. Speed Logistics sends PV modules, inverters and mounting systems as direct transport without transhipment – from the manufacturer or wholesaler to the installer, into the warehouse or straight to the construction site.
Doing without transhipment points is the most effective breakage protection in solar transport: the pallets are loaded once and moved again only at the consignee. You receive your fixed-price offer within a few hours, and the dedicated dispatch team is available 24/7. Delivery is nationwide and throughout Europe – from the single inverter to the complete project load for the solar park.
What we transport for the solar industry
- PV modules – glass-foil and glass-glass modules, on edge on manufacturer pallets, typically 30–36 modules per pallet
- Inverters and storage systems – shock-sensitive electronics in original packaging; for battery storage we clarify dangerous-goods requirements in advance
- Mounting systems and substructures – rails, hooks and small parts as a part load with the module delivery
- Complete packages for PV projects – modules, inverters and mounting material in one delivery to the site
Breakage protection and load securing for PV modules
Modules stay on the original manufacturer pallet with corner protection and strapping – it is matched to the glass thickness and frame geometry. In the vehicle the pallets stand tight-fit, secured with lashing straps over edge protectors and anti-slip mats; pressure on the glass surfaces is consistently avoided, and stacking is done only where the manufacturer releases it. On request we run air-sprung for low-vibration transport – relevant above all for frameless glass-glass modules. Opened pallets we secure with additional corner padding and film; inverters and storage travel upright, in the correct position per manufacturer specification and separated from heavy packages. On receipt the driver checks pallets and corner protection for visible damage and documents the condition – so the chain of evidence for warranty and insurance questions stays closed.
Scheduled delivery to the construction site
PV projects are timed by the assembly plan and scaffolding standing times. We deliver by a fixed slot or date – to the installer's warehouse or straight to the construction site, coordinated with the site management. We clarify the unloading in advance: by tail lift and pallet truck with a firm access route, otherwise by forklift or crane on site. If material is missing at short notice for an ongoing project, we run inverters or replacement modules as an express direct transport, overnight too. For project business with several construction phases, we deliver in part quantities according to construction progress – this saves storage space on the site and reduces the theft risk of expensive components.
Costs and international PV transports
Costs depend on the number of pallets and loading metres, the lane and deadline pressure. From the Sprinter for individual inverters to the 40 t articulated lorry with a complete project load, we assign the right vehicle and quote you a transparent fixed price without hidden surcharges – for the enquiry, the module type, number of pallets and destination address are enough. For recurring deliveries to installation businesses we agree fixed routes and conditions. For PV projects outside the EU – such as in Türkiye or North Africa – we handle the complete customs clearance from EXW to DDP.
