Solar Panel Imports, Flatbed, Project Cargo. Los Angeles

Modules off the vessel, transformers over the road, and everything
delivered to sites that don't have an address yet.

Freight that survives the road to the site

Solar freight punishes carelessness twice. First at the port, where module shipments draw more customs documentation scrutiny than almost any commodity entering the country, and a container held at entry stalls an install schedule by weeks. Then on the road, where glass laminate that looks fine at the dock can arrive microcracked from rough handling, failing panels that won't show it until they're on the racking underperforming.

AEEM moves solar panels and transformers for how it actually travels. Module imports through the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports with entry coordinated before arrival, drayage and dry van for panels and inverters, flatbed for racking steel, permitted heavy-haul for transformers, and project cargo when a utility-scale build needs its shipments sequenced. Delivered to distribution centers, laydown yards, and project sites at the end of dirt roads.

Import Gateway

Of US inbound containers enter through LA and Long Beach, and we move module shipments from vessel to drayage to your warehouse or site under one coordinator.

Site Delivery

Flatbed, dry van, and permitted heavy-haul delivery from Los Angeles to project sites nationwide, including the ones GPS gives up on.

The right equipment from vessel to site

An energy project's freight spans every mode. Modules arrive by vessel and container, racking rides flatbed, transformers need permits and multi-axle trailers, and a utility-scale build needs all of it sequenced. Pick a service below to see how we run it for energy.

THE PLAYBOOK

Where energy freight breaks, and how we run it

A Los Angeles based team that knows what a module shipment faces at the port and on the road.

The risk: microcracked glass

The pallet that failed in transit, quietly

Module damage hides. Rough handling and bad load securement create microcracks no receiving dock can see, and the loss shows up later as underperforming strings. We spec securement and handling standards on the rate confirmation and put damage-documented equipment on module lanes, so the freight arrives the way it left the factory.

The risk: a held shipment

The container customs wants to talk about

Solar imports draw more entry documentation scrutiny than nearly any commodity, and a held container stalls the install calendar behind it. We coordinate the entry before the vessel arrives and keep the shipment's documentation organized and ready, so questions get answered from a file, not a scramble. Supply-chain filings remain the importer's obligation, and we support them with clean records.

The risk: a road that isn't one

The site at the end of eleven miles of dirt

Utility-scale sites live where the grid needs them, not where trucks like to go. We confirm access, surface, and turnaround before dispatch, match the equipment to the road, and coordinate laydown delivery when the site can't take freight yet, so the load arrives instead of getting stuck.

Frequently asked questions

Energy and solar shipping, answered

Straight answers on module imports, site delivery, battery storage, and moving transformers.

Can you deliver to a utility-scale project site?

Yes, including the remote ones. We confirm site access, road surface, and unloading equipment before dispatch, match trailers to the conditions, and coordinate with your site contact so the driver arrives at a gate that's expecting freight.

How do you prevent solar module damage in transit?

Securement and handling standards are specified on the rate confirmation, not assumed, and module lanes run on equipment with damage documentation. Handling is the variable that decides whether panels arrive install-ready, so we make it contractual.

Can you import solar modules through the LA ports?

Yes. Module shipments move from vessel to drayage to your warehouse or laydown yard under one coordinator, with entry coordinated before arrival and documentation kept organized, because solar imports draw heavy scrutiny at entry and clean records are the difference between clearing and sitting.

Can you ship battery energy storage systems?

Yes. Lithium battery systems are regulated hazardous materials, and they move through certified carriers holding the endorsements, equipment, and documentation the classification requires, coordinated as part of the same project freight plan.

How do transformer moves work?

Transformers run on multi-axle heavy-haul equipment with state permits, route surveys, and escorts arranged per state before dispatch, priced into one all-in quote and coordinated with the site's receiving crane window.

Can you stage equipment before the site is ready?

Yes. Modules, racking, and equipment can hold in coordinated warehousing or laydown near the ports or near the project, releasing against the install schedule instead of piling up at a site that can't receive yet.
