Frequently Asked Questions

Solar modules are fragile; if they are packed or stacked incorrectly, the shipping proces can result in cracked panels. All of Kinect Solar’s carriers are experienced in shipping solar panels and are also required to follow special packaging instructions for solar panel shipping to ensure they arrive undamaged.

Most solar modules can be shipped using standard freight services (Full Truckload, Less than Truckload, rail, etc). Tell us about your project to learn your shipping options.

Solar panel shipping costs depend on a variety of factors, including the equipment’s site of origin, destination, and desired shipping speed. Additionally, in today’s complex shipping economy, costs can vary week to week and even day to day. For fast, no-obligation, multiple-rate shipping quotes for your project, reach out to our customer service team today.

Solar batteries need to be transported according to manufacturer packing and temperature specifications. To protect your equipment, you should always be certain your carrier guarantees a temperature-controlled environment for solar batteries. We have carriers equipped to safely handle solar batteries and we can connect you with an experienced handler.

Additionally, Kinect Solar is equipped to handle all specialty solar equipment:

  • Solar battery shipping
  • Solar inverters shipping
  • Solar modules shipping

If you are experienced in packing solar panels, you may be able to package your own equipment for pickup following our packaging instructions, however we always recommend using one of our experienced handlers to guarantee solar panels are not cracked in transit. Call our customer service team to discuss custom packing and shipping options for your business.

Speed of delivery for any product depends on several factors, including the mode of transportation and specifics of the equipment being shipped. Standard shipping methods will generally be the most cost effective but Kinect Solar also offers expedited shipping solutions for the times you need faster delivery.

Because Kinect Solar specializes in both solar storage solutions and logistics, our infrastructure is set up to move your materials quickly. We offer many shipping solutions, including expedited options. Learn more here.

Even with experienced handlers, sometimes accidents happen. Kinect Solar’s customer service representatives are here to handle any transit problems. Find more information or file a claim for damaged, lost, missing, or delayed items that shipped with Kinect Solar here.

If you booked your own freight, please contact your carrier to file a claim.

No matter your timeline, our solar storage experts will work with you to find a solution that works for your project.

We do offer a limited number of temperature-controlled storage centers for sensitive equipment such as batteries. Because not all spaces are equipped with the same features, be sure to let our solar specialists know what type of equipment you are storing in order to ensure proper conditions.

If you have the equipment and expertise to pack and transport your own equipment, you are welcome to do so. We always recommend using one of our solar-vetted handlers to ensure your equipment arrives undamaged.How are solar panels stored at the warehouse?

Kinect Solar warehouse handlers follow manufacturers’ packaging and handling guidelines and are experienced in safely moving pallets and containers of solar modules.
