Checking for Shipping Damage

The inverter is thoroughly checked and rigorously tested before it is shipped. Even though it is
bolted onto a rugged, oversized pallet for delivery, the inverter can be damaged during shipping
by poor handling, trucking or transfer station activity.
Please inspect the inverter carefully after it is delivered. If any damage is seen please
immediately notify the shipping company to make a claim. If there is any question about
potential shipping damage, contact Solectria Renewables. Photos of the damage may be helpful
in documenting potential shipping damage.
• Do not accept the unit if it is visibly damaged or if you note visible damage when signing
shipping company receipt.
• Note any damage to the inverters on the shipping papers with the truck driver. Report
damage immediately to the shipping company.
• Do not remove the unit from pallet/packaging if damage is evident.
• If it is determined that the unit must be returned, a RMA number must be obtained
from Solectria Renewables prior to returning the unit.
