How to Order Solar Panels from China Directly

Frequent power outages make many people wonder: is it possible to get electricity in another way? The answer is green energy — namely, solar modules. They have their advantages and disadvantages, but with the right model selection and installation, they provide autonomy, reduce electricity bills, and pay off on average within 3–6 years.

A solar system is a significant investment for both private households and businesses. Therefore, we recommend considering suppliers from China to purchase alternative energy sources at the best possible price.

A Brief Overview of Solar Panels

Let’s start with a few key characteristics to consider when choosing:

1. Cell type. The highest efficiency comes from the new generation of monocrystalline and TOPCon panels.
2. Maximum power (watts). The higher it is, the more electricity one panel generates.
3. Efficiency rate (conversion ratio) shows how effectively the device converts sunlight into electricity.
4. Open-circuit voltage, temperature coefficient of power, and tolerance — important indicators for selecting an inverter.
5. Installation type: there are both stationary and portable models.

Combined modules are called solar arrays. There are several connection options:

• Off-grid — independent from the public grid; energy is stored in batteries, providing full autonomy but no backup option when there’s no sunlight.
  
• On-grid — panels are connected to the main grid, exporting surplus energy and drawing power at night or in cloudy weather. However, if the grid fails, the system stops supplying power.
  
• Hybrid — connected to the grid but also includes batteries. This allows you to sell excess electricity while maintaining backup power during outages.
  

The efficiency of solar panels largely depends on the region. Consider the annual insolation level — the number of kilowatt-hours per square meter per year.

Solar cells have many advantages:

• Generate energy during sunny days (in Ukraine, there are on average 165–200 sunny days per year);
• Resistant to weather conditions;
• Environmentally friendly;
• Exceptionally durable — service life of 20–25 years!

There are also two main drawbacks: High equipment cost, since you need to buy not only panels but also inverters, batteries, and other components — without them, a mini solar power station won’t work effectively. No power on cloudy days.

Before purchasing and installing, be sure to consult a specialist.

Solar Panels from China: Step-by-Step Ordering Process

Solar modules are a specific type of product for purchase and delivery — expensive, fragile, and large. That’s why each stage requires careful attention:

1. Finding suppliers in China. Choose sellers with high ratings, request certifications, all technical documents, and warranty information.
2. Purchasing. Entrust product purchases in China to DiFFreight: we work with all major Chinese marketplaces, verify suppliers, and handle payments securely.
3. Quality control. We strongly recommend not skipping this step: panels must be in perfect condition, as transporting defective goods leads to major losses. Our warehouse in China performs thorough inspections before shipment.
4. Delivery to Ukraine. The most efficient method is containerized sea freight. We ensure reliable packaging so that all converters, controllers, and modules arrive intact.
5. Customs clearance. Photovoltaic cells are exempt from import duties and VAT in Ukraine.
6. Door-to-door delivery / pickup from the DiFFreight warehouse.

The cost of shipping solar panels from China depends on several parameters: cargo dimensions, weight, and volume (including packaging).

Price Comparison: Solar Panels in Ukraine vs China

Solar modules come in various configurations. Let’s compare prices for solar panels from China and retail prices in Ukraine*.

*The table lists comparable models. Prices depend on brand, power, and configuration. Wholesale prices in China do not include logistics or customs clearance services.

The cheapest solar panels from China are available only for large wholesale orders. Bigger batches allow you to save more per unit. For example, for the last model in the table, when purchasing from 950 pcs, the price drops to $47.5.

How to Safely Order Solar Panels from China to Ukraine

We’ve already discussed the importance of a reliable supplier and quality inspection upon receipt. Now let’s look at the steps to ensure a smooth, problem-free delivery.

Modules are made of glass and silicon — fragile materials that require:

• Proper packaging. Ideally, this should be done at the factory, but suppliers often skip this step. DiFFreight adds extra packaging at the warehouse to keep your goods safe.
• “Fragile Cargo” labeling. This ensures careful handling at every stage of transportation.
• Re-inspection after receipt. Examine each unit for dents or cracks. Document any damage to claim insurance compensation.

And to ensure peace of mind, don’t save on insurance. Make sure your policy covers potential risks, especially damage during transport.

DiFFreight provides turnkey delivery, taking into account all logistics specifics for solar panels.
