LOGISTICS SOLUTIONS FOR THE SOLAR POWER INDUSTRY IN CHINA
Logistics management and advice for international transport of equipment to assemble and install solar power plants including solar panels, fixed solar structures, solar trackers, inverters and transformer substations.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A solar project means a huge cargo volume, normally at least 200 containers for a small project, and more than 1000 containers for a big one. With our services you can have space guarantee to ship the cargo to destination.
