Photovoltaic & Solar · Energy Storage · New Energy Vehicles
Overview
The global clean energy transition is one of the defining trade flows of our era. Solar panels, inverters, battery storage systems and electric vehicle parts are moving across borders in extraordinary volumes — and the supply chains behind them are among the most technically demanding in international logistics.
China sits at the centre of this transition. Chinese manufacturers account for the overwhelming majority of global photovoltaic module production, a dominant share of energy storage manufacturing, and a rapidly growing proportion of new energy vehicle exports. Getting these products from factory to installation site, to end consumer, to distributor — reliably, compliantly, and at competitive cost — is the challenge Panex WD International is built to solve.
We have provided logistics and supply chain services to leading clean energy exporters for years, operating across their most complex markets: Europe, North America, Southeast Asia and Latin America. Our clean energy practice is not a generalist freight service applied to solar panels — it is a specialist capability built around the specific regulatory, handling, safety, and commercial requirements of this industry.
Why Clean Energy Logistics Is Uniquely Complex
Clean energy products present a combination of logistical challenges that few providers are equipped to handle in full:
Hazardous materials: lithium battery cells in ESS and EV components require IATA-compliant handling, documentation, and storage — a non-negotiable certification bar
Fragility and weight: photovoltaic modules are large, fragile, and heavy; improper stacking, humidity exposure, or handling causes micro-crack damage that cannot be detected at destination but dramatically reduces panel lifespan
Regulatory complexity: anti-dumping duties, certificate-of-origin requirements, and product certification standards (IEC, CE, UL) vary significantly across markets and change frequently
Peak-season pressure: residential solar and storage demand is highly seasonal; providers without secured capacity and customs clearance expertise fail precisely when clients need them most
Installation and after-sales: clean energy products require professional installation and, in many markets, ongoing maintenance — creating demand for on-the-ground service capabilities that extend well beyond the warehouse
Our Core Capabilities for Clean Energy
International Freight — Sea & Air
We operate long-term contracts with major ocean carriers — including MSK, COSCO, and other leading lines — providing stable capacity and competitive rates for high-volume clean energy shipments. Our ocean freight service covers full container loads (FCL), less-than-container loads (LCL), and project cargo for oversized equipment including wind turbine blades and large-format inverter systems.
For urgent spare parts, replacement components, or time-sensitive project deliveries, our air freight capability provides express, consolidated, and charter options.
Overseas Warehousing & Value-Added Services
Our warehouse network across Europe (Netherlands, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Poland), North America (USA, Canada), Southeast Asia, and Brazil provides clean energy clients with:
- Bonded and customs-cleared storage for panels, inverters, battery systems, and EV components
- Pre-delivery inspection (PDI): quality verification, electrical testing, and defect identification before dispatch to installation sites or distributors
- Kitting and configuration: matching inverters with monitoring systems, combining panels with mounting hardware for project-ready dispatch
- Repackaging and relabelling to meet country-specific retailer or utility requirements
- Inventory management with lot-level traceability and real-time stock visibility
- Repair, refurbishment, and warranty returns processing
Last-Mile Delivery & Installation Logistics
In key markets, we go beyond warehousing to provide on-the-ground delivery and service capabilities that clean energy clients increasingly require:
- Scheduled delivery to installation sites, dealerships, and commercial end-customers
- Coordination with local installation partners for residential and commercial solar and storage projects
- White-glove EV delivery: PDI inspection, repair and maintenance support, and final handover to dealership networks
- Peak-season capacity assurance backed by local customs expertise and established relationships with port authorities
Supply Chain Distribution
Through our supply chain distribution platform and distribution nodes across key markets, we connect clean energy manufacturers with local B2B buyers — wholesale distributors, installation contractors, energy retailers, and utility procurement teams. For clients entering new geographies, we provide market-entry logistics including channel identification, sample warehousing, and distribution execution.

Client Case Studies
The following case studies illustrate how Panex WD International delivers differentiated value to leading clean energy clients operating at scale across complex international markets.
Challenge
BYD’s expansion into Indonesia and other emerging markets exposed critical gaps in its existing logistics setup. Most 3PLs lacked genuine on-the-ground service capabilities — PDI inspection, repair, testing, and coordinated delivery to 4S dealership networks — essential for EV market entry. Prior providers failed on service consistency, particularly during peak seasons, with extended lead times and high landed costs caused by customs clearance friction. Indonesia’s archipelagic geography added further complexity that most providers could not navigate at scale.
Our solution
Panex WD International deployed an integrated, end-to-end nationwide solution in Indonesia: local-network-empowered value-added services covering customs clearance, pre-delivery inspection, repair and maintenance, and direct delivery to 4S dealerships — backed by peak-season customs capacity assurance built on local know-how and established relationships with Indonesian trade authorities.
Results & expansion
The partnership has expanded in three dimensions — vertically (from finished vehicles into auto parts); geographically (replicating the model in Thailand and Malaysia); and commercially (becoming one of BYD’s most valued local partner within just two years of engagement).The practice provides a replicable blueprint for further expansion across Southeast Asia.
Jinko Solar
MarketsNetherlands, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Poland
ProductsPhotovoltaic modules; PV mounting brackets and components
Service modelEnd-to-end integrated: ocean freight, EU warehousing, last-mile delivery
Challenge
As one of the world’s highest-volume PV module exporters, Jinko Solar required a European logistics partner capable of matching the pace and precision of its supply commitments to installers, utilities, and distributors across seven major EU markets, while maintaining the service consistency that end clients demand. Fragmented logistics across multiple service providers created turnaround inefficiency, compliance risk, and inconsistent fulfilment.
Our solution
Panex WD International provides Jinko Solar with a fully integrated, end-to-end logistics service across Europe. This encompasses ocean freight to key EU ports (led by our Rotterdam hub), followed by warehousing and distribution across Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Poland, with value-added services at each stage. Our single-provider model reduces turnaround time versus coordinating multiple vendors, ensures consistent service delivery to Jinko’s downstream clients, and provides flexible warehousing capacity that scales with Jinko’s rapid market expansion. Competitive pricing backed by operational expertise addresses the true logistics bottlenecks — customs efficiency, warehousing utilisation, and last-mile reliability — not just transit time.
Future development
The partnership is evolving toward deeper collaboration — including supplementary distribution services for channel penetration in lower-tier European markets, installation and inspection services, and exploration of project logistics.
