If your order has not been processed no fees will be applied to your cancellation. After processing, up to a 9% restocking fee will be applied to your refund depending on what stage the order has entered. This is due to the nature of our business, as we work extremely hard to palletize your freight order and make it ready for residential delivery.

Refunds are typically processed within 7 days of confirmation. You will receive a notification of the refund once processed. Please note that while we initiate the refund immediately, it may take your financial institution 3 - 14 business days to process the deposit into your account.

In the event that an order has already shipped, we can attempt to intercept delivery to cancel it, but there are no guarantees. If the order is returned to us, the customer will be eligible for up to a 25% restocking fee and return shipping fees.

If you have any questions regarding a cancellation, feel free to reach out to our customer service team at 469-405-4423 or via email at support@solarsovereign.com. We're here to assist you.

Order Minimums:

After extensive research on transit damages and shipping practices we have discontinued palletizing shipments of less than 10 solar panels. We have found that the stability and overall success of delivery increase substantially at 10+ panel pallets.

No pallets under 10 pieces will be allowed for purchase unless picking up in store (on select panels). When purchasing solar panels, we urge customers to purchase additional panels to ensure the safe delivery of the needed amount. Solar panels are made of glass and shipping companies are human-- please do not buy the exact amount of panels needed for your project in case of damages.

If you have additional questions regarding the shipping of your solar panels please refer to our Solar Panels Shipping Policy Here.

Packaging:

Solar Sovereign packages solar panels to NMFC guidelines. When shipped, Solar Sovereign carefully inspects and documents the packaging and overall condition of your order. All pallets are banded, strapped, and wrapped prior to leaving our warehouse to ensure safe delivery to you!

Receiving Solar Panels:

When checking out and selecting freight delivery for your order, please note this is Curbside Delivery. This means that the freight carrier will deliver the pallet to your curbside, which is generally the end of your driveway. A driver will unload the pallet on a lift gate and set the pallet typically on your driveway. The freight carrier is not responsible for delivering the pallet up your driveway or onto your property in anyway. Please plan ahead!

You or the receiving party must inspect the order upon delivery for any damages. Undiscovered or concealed damages not noted on the delivery receipt must be reported within 24 hours to the freight carrier and Solar Sovereign. Any damages or issues with your order must be notated upon receival of your delivery.

Visible Damage: Any damages found during the delivery and the driver has been notified, an exception number has been provided and/or the damages are noted on the delivery receipt.

Concealed Damage: Any damages found after the delivery has occured and the driver is no longer on site. The damages are not noted on the delivery receipt. For any recourse, damages must be alerted to the carrier (phone number is located on the delivery receipt) and Solar Sovereign within 24 hours of delivery.

Best practice for Receiving Solar Panels:

• Take an image of your order in the truck with the Driver upon Arrival
• Take images of all 4 sides of your pallet
• Note any damages, rips, tears, or alters in packaging to your delivery driver
• Receive an Acceptance Number from the delivery driver
• Have the driver note any damage on your delivery receipt
• Call the number on your delivery receipt to report it to the terminal (immediately upon discovery)
• Call Solar Sovereign (469) 206-8743

Things to Look for Upon Delivery:

• Rips, tears, scuffing on the exterior packaging?
• Any crushed, damaged, or missing cones on the top of the solar panel pallet?
• Are all pallet feet intact?
• Dents or punctures through exterior packaging or under pallet?
• Unwrap the pallet and ensure no concealed damages to exterior of the product
