Planning module deliveries around real lead times: How to sequence orders, transport and crane dates without idle stock.
Nothing erodes a project margin like a crane sitting idle because a pallet of modules missed its window. Delivery planning is as much a sales discipline as a logistics one.
A practical sequence
- Fix the crane and scaffold dates before confirming the final module count.
- Order rails and inverter earlier than modules; they rarely change size.
- Confirm the unloading situation on site before choosing transport.
Share the delivery plan with the customer in writing. When the date moves, a customer who saw the plan reacts better than one who only heard a promise.
| Project Staging Phase | Lead-Time Buffer & Packaging Unit | Site Execution Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1: Mounting rails, AC/DC protections & inverters | Deliver 5–7 business days before roof work | Complete wall mounting, AC/DC switchboards and cable trays before modules arrive |
| Phase 2: Full-pallet PV module dispatch | 31 to 36 modules per factory pallet (~1,100–1,250 kg) | Schedule tail-lift truck or site crane directly to roof staging zone to avoid double handling |
| Phase 3: Lithium battery rack commissioning | Deliver after dust-producing civil/roof work finishes | Keep LiFePO4 modules at 15 °C–30 °C in original packaging until energisation day |
