A recent Solar Power World article discusses the challenges of protecting solar panels during shipping, handling, and storage. Despite their durability, panels are vulnerable to damage in transit, with breakage rates of 1-2%. The industry is pushing for improved testing and handling standards to better safeguard panels, thereby minimizing losses and increasing efficiency.

In partnership with industry-leading mold builders, MSI, we had the privilege of showcasing PVpallet Series X at NPE, the largest plastics show in North America. A case study was presented alongside the pallet display to fully demonstrate the complexity of our unique solar panel pallet.
