Local Delivery Terms

• Service Area: Local delivery is available for eligible ZIP codes near our Anaheim, CA warehouse. Availability and rates are determined by your ZIP code at checkout.

• Delivery Timeline: Orders typically require 0–4 business days for processing and scheduling. Once dispatched, local delivery usually arrives within 1–2 business days. Our logistics team will contact you via email or phone to confirm the delivery window.

• Delivery Rates: Local delivery fees are flat-rate based on your ZIP code zone ($169.99, $199.00, or $249.00), which will be calculated automatically during checkout.

• Curbside Delivery Only: Due to the weight and palletized nature of solar panels and battery storage systems, all local deliveries are curbside or driveway delivery only. Customers are responsible for moving products from the drop-off location.

• Receiving Requirements: An adult (18+) must be present at the time of delivery to inspect the shipment and sign the delivery receipt.

Will Call & Local Pickup Policy (Anaheim Location)

  • Order Completion: All orders must be fully processed before local pickup can be arranged. We cannot facilitate pickups for unpaid orders.
  • Appointment Scheduling: Orders typically require 0–4 business days to prepare. Pickup appointments will be scheduled by Solarinfi via email once your order is ready.

  • Product Responsibility: Upon pickup, product responsibility and liability transfer to you. Solarinfi is not responsible for any damage or issues after this transfer.

  • Pickup Location: Local pickup is available at our Anaheim, California location for customers in the area or those wishing to mitigate shipping costs for heavier items or large orders. This option can be selected during checkout.

  • Pickup Timing: All orders must be picked up within 8 business days from the time of purchase. If you need to reschedule, please notify us immediately. If you are unable to arrive within 15 minutes of the scheduled time, you must contact us to coordinate a new appointment.

  • Required Documentation: Customers are required to provide a copy of their driver’s license and order confirmation upon arrival. A copy of your license will be scanned and attached to your packing slip for verification. Please note that sales tax will be collected on all pickup orders unless a tax exemption is on file. On-site payment options include cash. If paying with a credit card, payment must be made prior to pickup.

  • Vehicle Requirements: For palletized orders, we cannot load into cars, sedans, RVs, or toy haulers. Please ensure your vehicle can accommodate the pickup. Standard bed trucks are typically under 78” long. Most solar panel pallets are 72” – 84” long, 48” wide, and 40-54” high. Ensure your vehicle meets the weight and height requirements and consider wheel hubs when measuring. We recommend bringing additional strapping to secure your load.

Shipping Information

Solarinfi offers parcel shipping for eligible products. Shipping times are calculated in business days (Monday to Friday) and do not include weekends or holidays. Depending on your order, items may arrive in multiple packages. Once a shipment has been dispatched, it cannot be rerouted, so please ensure that all shipping details, including name, address, and phone number, are correct before completing your order.

Tracking Your Shipment

You can track your shipment directly on the carrier’s official website. Please refer to your shipping confirmation email for the tracking number to stay updated on your delivery status.

Freight

Processing & Estimated Delivery Times

All freight delivery dates are estimates, and delivery times are not guaranteed. Transit times vary based on location and order size, typically ranging from 3 to 15 business days. Please note that Solarinfi is not responsible for carrier-related delays.

If you need an update on your estimated delivery date, please contact the carrier assigned to your order and provide your tracking number for real-time updates. Alternatively, you may email our freight team at info@solarinfi.com.

Freight Rate & Custom Quotes

Due to the size, weight, and palletized nature of freight shipments (such as solar panels and battery storage systems), freight rates vary based on destination, delivery conditions (commercial vs. residential), and carrier fuel surcharges. Rates displayed at checkout or on third-party platforms are estimated baseline costs. Final freight costs for large orders or custom locations will be confirmed via a custom quote prior to shipment dispatch.

What to Expect at Delivery

Freight shipments are delivered via Curbside Delivery, meaning the carrier will unload the pallet at the curbside, usually at the end of your driveway. The driver will use a liftgate to place the pallet, but they are not responsible for moving it further onto your property. Please plan ahead, as you will need to unload and transport the goods from the drop-off location yourself.

Best Practices for Receiving Freight Delivery

To ensure a smooth delivery and protect your order, follow these steps:

  1. Document the delivery: Take clear photos of the shipment before unloading, preferably while it is still on the truck.
  2. Inspect the packaging: Check all sides of the pallet for any visible damage, such as tears, dents, or holes.
  3. Include the driver if possible: If you notice any issues, try to capture photos with the driver present as proof.
  4. Report damages immediately: If you find any damage, contact the carrier’s terminal using the number on your delivery receipt.
  5. Notify us promptly: Reach out to Solarinfi at 714-833-5838 or info@solarinfi.com for further assistance.

How to Track Your Shipment

You can track your shipment directly on the carrier’s official website. Please refer to your shipping confirmation email for your Freight Tracking Number to check real-time updates.

Damage Reporting and Returns Policy

It is your responsibility to carefully inspect your delivery and promptly report any damages to both the delivering carrier and Solarinfi. Once you accept the shipment, the freight carrier is no longer liable for any damages. Claims may be denied if damages are not reported within 24 hours of delivery or if no documentation is provided on the delivery receipt.

Steps for Handling Damaged Goods:

  • Check the packaging for visible signs of damage such as rips, tears, or alterations, and inform the delivery driver.
  • Request an exception number from the driver for the reported damages.
  • Contact the carrier’s terminal immediately using the number on your delivery receipt to report the issue.
  • Reach out to Solarinfi for further assistance.
  • Important: If you receive damaged items, it’s best to accept the delivery rather than refuse it. Refusing the shipment could result in additional damage during the return process and may cause delays in receiving a replacement, particularly if the product is out of stock. Refused shipments may incur a restocking fee.

Damaged Goods Compensation

If damages are reported at the time of delivery, Solarinfi will issue a full refund to the original payment method for the value of the damaged product.

Tip: If you’re on a tight schedule, we recommend ordering extra solar panels to account for any potential damage during transit. This ensures you have enough panels for your installation even if any are damaged upon arrival.

Terminal Pickup

For certain orders, customers have the option to pick up their products directly from the nearest applicable freight terminal. The terminal location details will be provided after the order is placed. The exact distance to the terminal depends on the customer’s final shipping address.

Upon pickup, the responsibility and liability for the products transfer to the customer. Solarinfi does not accept responsibility or liability for any damage, transportation, or other issues after the transfer at the terminal. It is essential to inspect your order at the terminal before leaving.

Vehicle Requirements for Pickup

Please ensure your vehicle is suitable for the pickup. Standard pickup truck beds are typically 6.5 feet (78 inches) in length, 50.6 inches in width, and 21.4 inches in height.

Most solar panel pallets range from 72 to 84 inches in length, 48 inches in width, and 40 to 54 inches in height.

Please ensure your vehicle can accommodate these dimensions and that the wheel hubs in the bed are considered when measuring.

We highly recommend bringing strapping to secure your load.

Additionally, if your order contains multiple pallets, a standard pickup truck may not be sufficient.
