Keeping install crews installing
Missing solar equipment can hold up a commercial installation. Drop-X can assess road freight from a wholesaler to a business worksite, with pickup and delivery estimates confirmed against freight details, access and available capacity.
Fragile freight, handled properly
Panels travel upright and restrained; inverters and batteries are secured and kept dry; high-value commercial gear can run as a dedicated single-consignment vehicle. Wholesalers and volume installers doing daily site drops qualify for freight accounts with consolidated billing and priority dispatch.

Interstate road freight
Planning solar equipment freight on a listed interstate route?
For solar equipment businesses with suitable road freight, compare the existing Melbourne–Sydney, Melbourne–Adelaide and Melbourne–Canberra routes in both directions. Each consignment is assessed individually; not every freight category is accepted interstate. Cold-chain and air transport are not offered.
Interstate consignments are quoted separately. Exact addresses, freight, handling needs, timing and vehicle availability must be confirmed before acceptance.

Frequently asked questions
Can you deliver solar panels?
Tell dispatch the panel dimensions, packaging and handling requirements. A suitable road vehicle and available delivery confirmation must be agreed before booking; no damage-free outcome is guaranteed.
How fast can a missing part reach an install site?
Across metro Melbourne, pickup from the wholesaler is typically within 60 minutes of booking during business hours. Delivery timing depends on the site address, access, roads and freight; dispatch confirms an estimate for the booking.
Can you carry a full residential system in one run?
Yes. Panels, inverter, battery, rails and hardware for a typical residential install travel comfortably on a one-tonne tray or van, up to 500kg palletised.
Do you deliver batteries?
Yes — home and commercial battery systems are moved secured and upright per the manufacturer's orientation requirements. Flag the model at booking so the right vehicle and restraint are used.
Do you service regional installations?
Yes. Same-day runs to installs around Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo and across regional Victoria with transparent per-kilometre pricing — the item rate plus $1.95 per km of road distance (beyond 100 km, extra kilometres at $2.50), inc GST.
Can wholesalers set up regular site-delivery accounts?
Yes. Wholesalers and volume installers running 5+ pallets a day, 3+ regional deliveries a week or 15–20+ small deliveries a day qualify for freight accounts — invoice terms, consolidated billing and priority dispatch.
