Gautam Solar has applied for a patent design registration for its packaging pallet aimed at safely storing and transporting solar panels. The company said the pallet can be used to transport its 144-cell mono-passivated emitter and rear cell (PERC) and tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) solar panels.
The pallet features a sturdy wooden base separator to hold each panel securely in place, minimizing the risk of damage during transport. It is designed for galloping carriages and maximizes space efficiency.
“The problem of solar panels breaking and micro-cracks forming during transportation is quite serious. This problem, which is aggravated by potholes and bumps on roads, not only causes problems for manufacturers who have to supply replacement panels, but also leads to project delays for the developer,” said Gautam Mohanka, the CEO of Gautam Solar. “To combat this, our team has worked hard to develop a solution that not only meets the industry’s storage and transportation needs, but also improves the overall efficiency and safety of solar panel logistics.”
The pallet’s robust design protects the panels from physical damage and impact, minimizing the risk of replacement.
