Shipping & Lead Time

How long production takes, what happens before your system leaves, how it travels, and what paperwork comes with it. Written so you can plan a site hand-over date around it.

From order to dispatch

Four Steps, No Surprises

Order confirmed

We confirm the model, quantity, unit price and lead time on a proforma invoice. Payment is 100% in advance by T/T bank transfer, and production starts once it arrives.

Produced to the standard spec

Your systems are produced to the fixed specification of the model you ordered: the same panel, battery, controller and connector as every other unit of that model.

Checked before packing

Panel output verified against rated wattage, battery packs charge/discharge tested, then a visual inspection and a controller power-on test on every unit.

Packed and dispatched

Packed for sea or land freight, with a commercial invoice and packing list. We confirm the loading date and the documents as soon as the goods move.

What “typical ~15 days” refers to: production time for standard models, counted from order confirmation and receipt of payment in full to the goods being ready for dispatch. It is a typical figure rather than a guaranteed date, and it does not include freight transit.

Lead time

Why We Say “Typical” Rather Than “Guaranteed”

Three things genuinely move a lead time, and only one of them is under our control:

Quantity. A 2-piece order and a 60-piece order are not the same job. Larger quantities are quoted with their own lead time
Season. Production lines run busier in some months than others. If your date is tight, tell us at quotation stage and we will say what is realistic
Confirmed specification. This one is under our control: we only ship what the proforma invoice says. If your requirements change after confirmation, the lead time restarts

We do not hold standing stock of finished systems, so the figure you see is production time, not a shelf you can take from today.

Freight

How the Systems Travel

Sea & land freight

Our systems contain lithium batteries, which in our shipping experience are not accepted for air freight, so we ship by sea or land
Battery cells are UN38.3 tested; transport documents are available on request
Packing is prepared for sea and land transport, including palletised consignments

Terms & documentation

FOB China: the port of loading is stated in your quotation
Documents travelling with the goods: commercial invoice, packing list, and the transport documents for the shipment
Freight, insurance, destination port charges, import duties and local taxes are the buyer’s responsibility

Unit Weights, for Planning Your Freight

Use these complete-unit weights when you request a freight rate. The YO-P240120 is a four-panel frame system and is palletised accordingly.

YO-M8040	10.0 kg complete: 2 × 40W panels on a steel bracket
YO-P12060	16.0 kg complete: 3 × 40W panels on a steel bracket
YO-P12060-T	≈16.0 kg complete: same power core, heavy-duty triangle bracket for pole mounting
YO-P240120	42.0 kg complete: 4 × 60W panels in a heavy-duty frame

Weights are for complete units as shipped. Packing materials add to the consignment weight; ask us for the packed weight and carton dimensions when you request a rate.

Common questions

Shipping Questions We Get Asked

Can you ship faster than the typical lead time?

Sometimes, but we cannot promise it before we look at your order. Tell us your target date and quantity in your first message and we will reply with what is realistic. What we will not do is quote a date we cannot hold.

Do you ship by air?

No. Our systems contain lithium batteries, which in our shipping experience are not accepted for air freight. Orders ship by sea or land. If you need the goods moved quickly, the practical lever is to order earlier rather than to switch to air.

Can I combine several models in one shipment?

Yes. The minimum order is 2 pcs and you can mix standard models inside one order, for example one YO-M8040 and two YO-P12060. They are packed and shipped together, and the packing list itemises each model separately.

How long does transit take after dispatch?

That depends on the destination port, the route and the carrier’s schedule. It is not something we can fix in a web page. What we do is confirm the loading date and send the shipping documents, so your own forwarder can give you an exact arrival estimate.

Who pays the import duties and taxes?

The buyer. Prices are quoted FOB China and cover the goods and export packing, not destination charges. You may want to confirm the HS code with your customs broker before ordering so there is no surprise at clearance.

What should I check when the pallet arrives?

Check the number of packages against the packing list before signing the carrier’s documents, and photograph any carton that looks crushed or opened. If something is wrong, send us the order number, photos and a short description; that is usually enough for us to settle it.

Next Step

Need a Freight Estimate?

Send us the model, quantity and destination port. We will confirm the unit weights, the packed dimensions and the FOB China price so your forwarder can quote the rest.
