For overseas solar projects, logistics is not a back-office detail. It is a project delivery risk that can affect construction schedule, cash flow and EPC coordination.
Factory readiness should be aligned with site readiness. Production schedule, inspection, packaging, shipping documents and container loading need to match the construction plan.
Customs requirements vary by country. Certificates, invoices, packing lists, HS codes and local import rules should be reviewed early to avoid clearance delays.
Once equipment arrives, responsibility for unloading, storage and handover must be clear. Modules, batteries and electrical equipment each have different handling requirements.
A coordinated logistics plan reduces uncertainty for owners and EPCs. It also helps financiers understand whether the project schedule is realistic.
