Five 40-Foot High-Cube Containers of 630 W Solar Modules Leave the Factory

Factory warehouse: Weltrus solar module cartons on wooden pallets, stretch-wrapped and strapped, staged before container loading.

What This Dispatch Is

A factory shipment of 630 W solar modules is a booked export of model FX-630HT-02, packed 36 modules to a pallet, staged for five 40-foot high-cube containers, with outline, mass, and serials printed on the pallet sheet. Weltrus photographed that staging on 9 October 2026: carton faces, straps, and the paper that travels with each pallet.

Buyers often receive a warehouse photo and still cannot tell piece count from wattage. This note separates the two. The 630 W figure is the specified power class for the lot. The sheet itself prints the model code FX-630HT-02, not a flash-test table. Use the sheet for packing. Use the datasheet for electrical bins.

The booking quantity is five 40-foot high-cube containers, often written 40HQ. The photographs in this article show the warehouse, not the sealed boxes. Container numbers and seal numbers belong on the loading list and the bill of lading. How Weltrus builds modules before this packing step is covered in the solar panel manufacturing factory walkthrough.

What the Warehouse Photos Show

The cartons are kraft board with the Weltrus mark, a green band reading Solar PV Module, and clear stretch film. Green straps run vertically and in a cross on the faces. Each unit sits on a wooden pallet. In the aisle, pallets are stored two-high under a high roof. That stack is warehouse staging. It is a picture of floor practice, and the in-box stack height still has to match pallet build height and the door opening on the loading diagram.

Staged pallets: stretch film, green straps, wooden bases, and packing sheets on the carton faces.

Handling marks on the cartons are the usual export set: fragile, keep dry, keep upright, recycle, and no trampling. Those marks tell the forklift crew and the destination warehouse how to lift the unit. They do not replace a moisture inspection if a container arrives with a wet floor.

Two paper sheets are readable in the set. One is a package serial sheet with 36 barcodes, the model, quantity, masses, colors, and outline. The other is a product slip with product name, model, size, quantity, producer, manufacturing year, and origin. Together they are the pack identity a receiver can photograph before the first carton is opened.

Pallet Label Data You Can Check

Read the serial sheet as a packing record. The fields below are taken from that sheet and from the product slip beside it. Color names are quoted as printed.

Pallet serial sheet: model FX-630HT-02, 36 pieces, 1240 kg gross, 1202 kg net, size 2382 × 1134 × 30 mm.

Product slip: solar panel, model FX-630HT-02, 2382 × 1134 × 30 mm, 36 pieces, manufacturing year 2026, made in China.

The serial sheet also carries one barcode per module, numbered 1 through 36, plus a pallet QR code. This article does not republish those serial strings. A receiver should keep the sheet photo with the pallet until the serial file from Weltrus matches the barcodes on the glass. Publishing a partial street address from a strap-covered slip would add characters the photo does not fully show, so the location is stated at district and city only.

Pallet Math from the Printed Masses

The next figures are arithmetic on the printed label. They are packing math, not a measured energy yield and not a flash report.

A forklift plan should use 1240 kg gross per pallet, plus the attachment and a safety margin your site rule requires. A roof or tracker check should use about 33.4 kg net per module, then confirm the datasheet mass in case a later bill of materials changes glass or frame. Frame material changes mass too; the separate note on GRPU versus aluminum frame weight and shipping is about that design choice, not about this silver-frame lot.

Thirty-six modules at 630 W are 22.68 kW of nameplate on one pallet. Multiply that by the pallet count on the loading list when you need lot nameplate. Do not multiply by an assumed number of pallets per container. This photo set does not show how many pallets went into each of the five boxes.

Why 2382 mm Changes a 40-Foot Plan

Large-format modules fail container plans when the long side is treated like a small residential outline. The printed length is 2382 mm. A typical 40-foot high-cube internal width is about 2352 mm, with internal length about 12.03 m, internal height about 2.70 m, and internal volume about 76 m³. Those internals are published reference sizes for planning. The booked boxes still need their own plates and the forwarder’s loading diagram.

Because 2382 mm is longer than that typical internal width, the long side runs along the container length, not across the door width. The 1134 mm side is the one that can sit across the width. Two outlines side by side are 2268 mm, which leaves about 84 mm versus a 2352 mm internal width before pallet boards, carton bulge, and edge protection. That gap is small. The loading diagram has to use the outer pallet width, not the bare glass width.

Along the length, 12.03 m divided by 2.382 m is about five module lengths, before pallet timber and gaps. Five theoretical lengths are a geometry hint. They are not a count of pallets in these five containers. Corner boards, door posts, and a last-row gap often remove one position. Ask for the diagram that names pallets per box.

Height works the same way. Module thickness is 30 mm on the label, and 36 modules stacked on that dimension alone are about 1.08 m before carton, pallet wood, and film. The warehouse photos show two-high storage under a tall roof. Two-high inside the container is acceptable only when the built pallet height, including the wooden base, fits under the internal height with lift clearance. Put that height on the loading diagram. The aisle photo does not set it.

Cargo weight is the other limit. One pallet at 1240 kg is a known unit. How many of those units fit before the container’s rated cargo weight, or the truck axle rule on the lane, is a carrier question. A cube-full box and a weight-full box are different bookings. Confirm both on the quote. Residential outlines in the 445–465 W class use a shorter edge and a different pallet pattern; that comparison lives in the all-black 445–465 W residential panel note, and it should not be copied onto this 2382 mm pack.

Five Containers: Files That Close the Lot

Five containers are a document set, not a single carton photo. For this lot, close the file with the items below. Each line is something the warehouse frames do not contain.

1. Consolidated packing list — pallet count per container, 36 modules per pallet, model FX-630HT-02 on every line.
2. Loading diagram — orientation of the 2382 mm side, pallets along the length, stack height, and the outer pallet size used for the fit check.
3. Container and seal list — five container numbers and five seal numbers, matched to the bill of lading.
4. Commercial invoice and origin — Made in China, as printed, with the HS code your broker already uses for photovoltaic modules.
5. Serial file — the 36 barcodes per pallet, mapped to container number, so a later claim can find the glass.
6. Datasheet and test pack — current-voltage bins, maximum system voltage, and the IEC 61215 / IEC 61730 evidence named on the purchase order. A checklist for that evidence is in the IEC 61215 and IEC 61730 module verification guide.

Incoterms decide who books the five boxes and who insures the door-to-door leg. Under EXW or FOB, the buyer’s forwarder needs the 1240 kg gross and the pallet outer size before the vessel cut-off. Under CIF or DDP, Weltrus operations still owe the same packing list, because the receiver’s forklift plan depends on it. Agree the term in the purchase order so the photo set is not asked to stand in for a booking.

String design starts after the electrical datasheet arrives. A 630 W, 2382 mm module changes current and voltage versus a smaller residential laminate, and it changes cable and combiner counts on a commercial roof. The 1500 V PV string design and balance-of-system note is the right next read for that layout. Keep it off the packing sheet.

Receiving Checks for Distributors

At the warehouse door, a short check prevents a dispute that photos cannot settle later.

• Match model FX-630HT-02 on the carton and the sheet to the purchase order.
• Count pallets against the list for that container before breaking the stack.
• Photograph torn film, crushed corners, or a broken strap before the forklift moves the pallet.
• Weigh a sample of pallets against 1240 kg gross. Write the scale tolerance into the purchase order so both sides share one rule.
• On one sample pallet, confirm 36 serial barcodes and, if the carton is opened, the silver frame and white mesh backsheet described on the sheet.
• Measure one module against 2382 × 1134 × 30 mm before racking is released to the site.
• Keep cartons upright and dry. The printed marks already say so; a wet container floor is still a written exception, with photos.

Open a sample, not the whole container, unless the purchase order requires a full serial scan at arrival. Most distributors scan serials when modules move to the roof, using the pallet sheet as the batch key until then. If a barcode on the glass disagrees with the sheet, stop that pallet and send both photos to Weltrus with the container number.

Documents to Request Beside the Photos

Use the photos for pack method and the printed mechanical line. Request the rest as files:

• Destination and lane. Port, Incoterms, and insurance are commercial terms. They are not printed on these cartons.
• Total pieces and total nameplate. Sum the loading list. Five containers times an assumed pallet count would invent a megawatt figure this article does not carry.
• Electrical performance. Power tolerance, voltage, current, and temperature coefficients live on the FX-630HT-02 datasheet.
• Certificates and warranty years. Ask for the reports named in the purchase order. The pallet sheet is not a certificate.
• Price. This dispatch note has no offer and no dollar-per-watt.

If your project uses a shorter module, a black frame, or a different piece count per pallet, send that outline with the RFQ. Weltrus will answer with a packing line for the model you actually buy, including pieces per pallet, gross kilograms, and a loading sketch for the container type you book.
