Solar Transportation
The global shift toward renewable energy is accelerating, with it, the demand for efficient and reliable transportation of solar energy equipment. From solar panels to full production lines, these shipments often involve oversized, sensitive, and high-value components that require specialized handling.
One such example of this expertise in action is Fast Logistics recent success in managing a large-scale solar cell production line shipment from Shanghai and Shenzhen, China, to Chikhli, Gujarat, India.
What is Solar Line Transportation?
Solar line transportation refers to the specialized movement of machinery, tools, and oversized components used in the manufacturing of solar panels and cells. However, these systems are often transported internationally, requiring meticulous planning, route surveys, custom packaging, and compliance with international regulations. Whether it’s high-tech laminators, laser cutting machines, or automated assembly lines, each component must be handled with precision and care.
Key Challenges in Solar Project Logistics
Solar project logistics often involve Over-Dimensional Cargo (ODC), which exceeds standard shipping dimensions. However, this adds complexity to both the shipping and road transportation phases. Whether the cargo might need special permits, escort vehicles, and route planning to avoid obstacles like low bridges or narrow roads.
Handling fragile and high-value solar equipment also demands custom crating, waterproofing, vibration protection, and sometimes temperature-controlled environments. However, delays or mishandling can lead to costly project interruptions.
Successful Case: Solar Cell Line Shipment from China to India
Fast Logistics recently completed a successful large-scale solar project, transporting a solar production line from Shanghai and Shenzhen, China, to Chikhli, Gujarat, India.
The operation included over 200 containers, comprising:
- 20’FR & 40’FR (Flat Rack) for over-dimensional components
- 20’OT & 40’OT (Open Top) for tall machinery
- 40’HQ (High Cube) for volume-based cargo
One of the biggest challenges was moving equipment that reached a height of 21.5 feet, however, requiring specialized trailers and permissions to travel through Indian roads.
Our team ensured:
- Seamless door-to-door delivery
- Timely customs clearance
- Real-time cargo tracking
- Safe loading and unloading with precision handling equipment
