Re­new­able en­ergy lo­gist­ics chal­lenges we help solve

  • Scheduling
    Construction programmes can change quickly. Röhlig aligns freight flows, staging and site deliveries with project milestones and installation windows.
  • Complex cargo
    Solar components, BESS units, inverters, transformers, battery modules and out of gauge (OOG) cargo require tailored planning and handling. 
  • Compliance
    Battery and energy storage cargo may involve dangerous goods classifications, documentation, carrier approvals, customs processes and local transport regulatory compliance. 
  • Site access
    Route planning, strategic cross-dock yard selection for site-flow optimisation, goods handling according to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) handling instructions, last mile delivery execution and sequencing to meet construction milestones and site requirements.
  • Visibility
    Milestone reporting, material management, documentation platforms and Röhlig Realtime help customers maintain control across the supply chain. 

Renewable energy logistics designed around your project milestones

  • Renewable energy projects depend on precise timing, safe handling and full supply chain visibility. Röhlig Logistics supports customers by designing and executing end-to-end logistics solutions from global sourcing and international freight through to customs, staging, warehousing, final site delivery and milestone reporting. 

  • Whether you are building a utility-scale solar farm, transporting energy storage systems, moving lithium-ion batteries or setting up a new production facility, our project teams coordinate cargo flows, documentation, carriers, warehouses, customs teams and site stakeholders so your teams can stay focused on delivering sustainable energy assets. 

Built for renewable energy project stakeholders

  • Röhlig supports engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractors, OEMs, solar developers, battery manufacturers, BESS manufacturers, renewable energy project owners and procurement teams that need reliable logistics coordination across international freight, customs, staging, site delivery and installation timelines. 

  • These projects are often exposed to tight construction windows, high-value components, port and customs complexity, dangerous goods requirements, site access restrictions, oversized cargo constraints and documentation compliance. Röhlig helps reduce these risks through structured project planning, proactive exception management and milestone-based reporting. 

Core re­new­able en­ergy lo­gist­ics cap­ab­il­it­ies

Solar farm logistics

Röhlig supports utility-scale solar projects with logistics planning and execution from international sourcing through to final site delivery. Our teams coordinate photovoltaic (PV) Modules, trackers, batteries, cabling and balance-of-plant cargo, helping align supply chain activity with construction milestones. 

  • Project logistics planning and freight execution 

  • Cross-dock yard selection, staging and unpacking 

  • Material management reporting and document control 

  • Last-mile delivery to warehouse or project site 

  • Sequencing, time-slot management and unloading oversight

Battery Energy Storage System logistics

BESS logistics sits at the intersection of heavy industrial logistics, hazardous materials and power-sector engineering. Röhlig manages energy storage units, inverters, generators, transformers, battery modules, racks, containers and auxiliary equipment with tailored planning and compliance support. 

  • Heavy-lift and project cargo planning 

  • Route surveys for bridges, turns and road limits 

  • Overweight and oversized cargo handling 

  • Import permits, dangerous goods declarations and inspections 

  • Just-in-time delivery planning and installation-sequence coordination 

At Röhlig, we understand that BESS projects demand precise coordination and flawless execution. From battery containers and transformers to critical supporting infrastructure, every shipment must align with construction and commissioning schedules. By staying closely connected to our projects, planning ahead, and maintaining clear communication, we help overcome supply chain challenges before they impact progress. Our customers trust us to deliver reliable logistics solutions that keep their energy storage projects moving forward safely, efficiently, and on schedule.

Com­pli­ance-led lo­gist­ics for bat­ter­ies and dan­ger­ous goods

Battery and energy storage logistics require careful control of classification, documentation, packaging, handling and carrier acceptance. Röhlig supports customers with compliance-led logistics planning for lithium battery and BESS cargo, including airfreight and seafreight requirements.

Classification and regulations Documentation and packaging Operational controls
UN3480 and UN3481 lithium battery classifications; Class 9 cargo; IMDG, IATA, ADR, RID and DOT considerations. Dangerous Goods Declaration; UN38.3 test summary; MSDS / SDS; commercial invoice and packing list; dangerous goods packaging certificate. DG-approved yards; compliant drivers and vendors; loading and lashing; port entry coordination; carrier approvals where required.
State-of-charge considerations for transport; thermal runaway risk awareness; damaged or defective battery restrictions. UN-certified packaging; inner packaging to prevent short circuits; rigid outer packaging; correct labelling and marking. Route planning; road restrictions; operating-hour limits; temperature and shock monitoring where required by the cargo or customer.

Customers see a truck pulling up at site. We see magnitude, distance and countless invisible events that had to line up long before materials arrived — sometimes thousands of kilometres from the nearest port. We plan each move with real project foresight and a boots-on-the-ground approach, aligning site teams, global supply chains, local authorities and transport partners. Strong partnerships sit at the core of how we operate, and we’re trusted because we stay present, involved and on the ground when it matters most.
