LOGISTICS SERVICES FOR THE SOLAR POWER INDUSTRY IN CHINA

Every project and every customer has different needs. Get logistics solutions tailored to your project whether it’s full door-to-door with customs in both countries or only customs clearance in the destination country, last-mile overland freight or only international sea freight. We tailor our range of services to your requirements to meet the commitments you have made to your supplier or customer.

  • CUSTOMS SPECIALISATION

    Customs procedures call for expertise in order to make operations as simple and cost-effective as possible. We recommend and provide the best strategy to deliver seamless customs operations for our customers while they benefit from all possible tax advantages.

  • INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORT

    Find the best air, sea and/or land transport solution for the export of your solar park components.

  • SPECIALISED LAND LOGISTICS AND ROUTE DESIGN

    Solar parks are usually sited in remote areas far from towns. This means specialised land logistics are needed including planning routes to ensure components can get to where they need to go as these places may not have any paved roads or access roads ready to receive the equipment. To address these and other situations, we can conduct a route study including turning radius analysis to make sure the transport is feasible.

  • APPROPRIATE CARGO LOADING

    We can check goods are properly lashed or contract a surveyor who can inspect the cargo to ensure the equipment is loaded as specified by the manufacturer and arrives at its destination in perfect condition.

  • CONTAINER STRIPPING AND LOADING ON TRUCKS

    We can coordinate stripping the container in an intermediate warehouse and subsequent loading onto a curtainsider or flatbed truck and delivery to the end destination. This makes for easier onsite unloading as it can be done from the side of these trucks as opposed to front unloading required in the case of containers. Hence it’s a popular option for some types of equipment such as the 12-metre tubes used in solar trackers.

OTHER ADD-ON SERVICES FOR BUILDING SOLAR POWER PLANTS

Project cargo for solar plants

PROJECT CARGO

Our solar vertical logistics team is also specialised in breakbulk cargo shipping for tracker components such as tubes and piles. We additionally deliver logistics services for items including inverters and transformer substations that are heavy, oversized or out-of-gauge which means a conventional container is not an option. We have the backing of our project cargo division for these shipments.

Warehousing for solar plants

WAREHOUSING

We deliver warehousing and distribution services for the equipment needed when building a solar park. When the site is not ready to receive particular equipment for reasons other than logistics issues, we handle storage of the goods and then after receiving the delivery instructions we take them to the site. We manage direct marketing orders from reception of all the equipment required to putting the kits together.

MyTIBA tracking

MyTIBA

With our MyTIBA digital tool, you can access a report and share it with the other project stakeholders. For example, you can schedule an automatic report every three days and send it to the project manager so that they are kept up to speed about equipment arrivals and can plan for them. In addition, if the customer has several projects on the go with us, MyTIBA makes it easy for them to look through the documentation and the various shipments by the project’s name.

Who are our services aimed at

The main customers we work with are component manufacturers, EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) firms and power plant owners or park developers who need transport services. In terms of logistics, we liaise with the companies involved, from manufacturers to EPCs and end customers.

EXPORTING COMPONENTS FOR SOLAR PLANTS FROM CHINA

China is a huge exporting country, almost all the solar products are exported from China to worldwid. Specifically solar modules, trackers and inverters mainly are usually exported to Spain and LATAM countries, such as Chile or Colombia. such as Chile or Colombia. China also builds many local plants but with components manufactured in the country itself, so it is clearly an exporter.

Our division specialised in logistics for the solar power industry delivers international logistics and transport services for any component needed in the assembly of a solar power plant for Chinese customers who need a door-to-door service, as most of the solar components are exported from China.

SOLAR POWER INDUSTRY IN CHINA

The solar plants in China are always invested by government. China has formulated a medium and long-term development plan for photovoltaic power generation. With the increasing reduction of traditional fossil energy, the proportion of renewable energy consumption is increasing year by year, and the proportion of photovoltaic power generation is increasing rapidly.

According to the planning forecast, by 2050, China’s photovoltaic installed capacity will reach 2000gw and the annual power generation will reach 2600twh, accounting for 26% of the total power generation in China. With the progress of modern technology, the conversion efficiency of photovoltaic power generation will be improved year by year, and the power generation cost will be greatly reduced, so that the price of photovoltaic power generation will be lower than the conventional electricity price to a certain extent.

China government offer fully support to solar business, for example the total amount of subsidy budget for new photovoltaic power generation projects in 2020 is 1.5 billion yuan. Among them, 500 million yuan is used for household photovoltaic, and the project construction of subsidy bidding projects (including centralized photovoltaic power stations and industrial and commercial distributed photovoltaic projects), is organized according to the total subsidy of 1 billion yuan. That’s the total amount of household subsidies is 500 million yuan, and the industrial and commercial and ground bidding projects are 1 billion yuan.
