Terms Conditions
US Solar Supplier Shipping Policy At USSolarSupplier, we recognize the importance of receiving your solar products promptly and efficiently. Our goal is to provide a seamless, customer-friendly experience throughout the entire shipping process. To help you better understand our shipping practices, please review our comprehensive shipping policy below.
Shipping Costs and Carriers Shipping costs are calculated based on the weight and dimensions of the product(s) in your order. We utilize FedEx or UPS for ground shipments, and trusted freight carriers for larger shipments. All of our shipments are insured for your protection. For logistical reasons, all shipments are made using our company’s shipping account.
Estimated Delivery Time For standard delivery, most orders will arrive at their destination within 7 to 10 business days. Please note that these estimates are subject to change depending on carrier’s operational capabilities and other factors beyond our control.
Inspecting Shipments Upon Delivery When your order arrives, it’s of utmost importance that you meticulously inspect your shipment upon delivery. If delivered by a freight truck, you should reach out to the freight carrier using the phone number given on the carrier’s bill. By signing the delivery receipt without noting any potential damages, issues, or if you’re unable to inspect the delivery, you are legally confirming that you’ve received the shipment in good condition. Please be advised that USSolarSupplier can’t be held responsible for any damages or missing items not listed on the delivery receipt. If you decide to accept a package that’s visibly damaged, make sure to note on the delivery receipt that you’re signing for a damaged package. However, please note that USSolarSupplier can’t be held responsible for any damages or missing items accepted via signature delivery. After receiving your shipment, it is crucial that you carefully count and inspect the contents before acknowledging delivery. In the unlikely event that your shipment has been damaged during transit, please take photos of the materials and note the damage on the Bill of Lading (BOL). If there is major visible damage, you should reject the delivery outright. In case of damages, it is required that you notify US Solar Supplier by email (kyle@ussolarsupplier.com) within 24 hours of delivery. Please include the signed BOL, as well as any additional photos or supporting documents. If the BOL is not properly noted at the time of delivery, US Solar Supplier cannot be held responsible for additional costs for replacement materials. All returned items are subject to inspection and approval.
Expedited Shipments We strive to ship expedited orders on the same day we receive them. However, orders placed after 1:00 PM Eastern Time (10:00 AM Pacific Standard Time) may not ship the same day. Expedited orders placed over the weekend or on major holidays will be processed and shipped on the following business day. Please note that carriers do not deliver on weekends or major holidays, with the exception of Saturday delivery. If you require Saturday delivery, please contact our sales department at 1 (800) 230-7004 for assistance.
Out of Stock and Backordered Items Occasionally, an item may have a lead time or be backordered after your order is received. If there is a lead time associated with your order, we will contact you to confirm whether this lead time aligns with your project deadline.
Please include this information in the order notes when placing your order, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs. For other special requirements, please call our sales department at 1 (800) 230-7004 before placing your order.
Multiple Shipments
We warehouse our products across the United States, and occasionally, we may need to ship your order from two or more different locations. In such cases, we will never charge you more for shipping than your original payment. If you require your order to arrive in a single shipment, please contact our sales department when placing your order at 1 (800) 230-7004 or add this information to the Order Комментарии и мнения владельцев box. To consolidate certain orders, we may need to bring the products into our Vista office and combine them before shipping, which may result in an additional 3-5 day lead time and additional shipping charges.
International Shipments
Currently, USSolarSupplier only ships within the United States and does not offer international shipping.
Shipping on Your FedEx or UPS Account
USSolarSupplier’s policy requires regular parcel orders (ground, air/express shipments, non-freight) to be shipped on our UPS account. We appreciate your understanding.
Freight Shipments
Certain products on USSolarSupplier must be shipped freight due to their weight, dimensions, or classification as hazardous materials. For more information, please refer to our Claims Returns Policy and Refund Policy.
Freight Shipment Products include, but are not limited to:
- Large solar panels (over 90 watts in most cases)
- Large Inverters (over 1kW)
- Rails longer than 9 feet (108)
- Flooded lead-acid batteries
- Deep cycle batteries
- Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries (LiFeP04)
Freight Options
When placing an order that requires freight shipping, you will need the following information:
Residential freight shipments are more expensive than commercial zone shipments due to accessibility and established routes. If your freight shipment weighs over 100 pounds and you lack access to a forklift or loading dock, you will need a lift gate to unload your pallet from the truck.
Freight can be complex; if you require assistance in selecting the appropriate shipping option, please contact our sales department at 1 (800) 230-7004 for support. The freight quotes provided on our website are approximate, and our team may be able to offer a better rate.
Please note that the shipping cost displayed at checkout is an estimate and may be adjusted at the time of shipment. Freight rates may increase while the product is in production. You can help by providing a commercial shipping address that can accommodate a semi-trailer and/or acknowledging the outlined terms and conditions.
Ground/Freight Cost Logistics Unforeseen Expenses
Any fees incurred by a shipping carrier due to a lack of delivery information (address or location) will automatically be billed to the customer. Please ensure you check your order confirmation for accurate information.
When placing an order by phone, inform the sales representative of any shipping irregularities (inaccessible areas for shipping carriers, such as narrow driveways, rural locations, steep hills, dirt/gravel roads, or missing address information and signage).
By placing an order with USSolarSupplier, you agree to our shipping policy. If you have any questions or concerns about shipping, please feel free to contact our friendly and knowledgeable customer support team. We are always here to help and ensure that your experience with USSolarSupplier is a positive one.

If you need to cancel an order, please contact our customer support team as soon as possible. If the order has not yet been shipped, we will make every effort to cancel it without incurring additional costs. However, if the order has already been shipped, you will be responsible for the return shipping costs and the 40% restocking fee mentioned above.
Claims Returns Policy
If you receive damaged, defective, or incorrect products, please contact our customer support team within 5 business days of receiving the shipment. We will work with you to find a suitable solution, which may include issuing a refund, replacing the product, or providing technical support to resolve the issue.

Do solar panels make sense for your specific home?
What are the available JA Solar modules?
JA sells both residential and commercial-sized solar panels. Its residential solar panels contain either 54 or 60 solar cells, while the commercial panels use 72 cells. JA uses half-cut monocrystalline cells in its residential panels, which helps increase their efficiency. The efficiency and rated maximum power from the JA Solar datasheets are listed below.
| JAM60S20/MR | 21% | 390 W |
| JAM54S30/MR | 21.5% | 420 W |
| JAM60S10/MR | 20.2% | 340 W |
These panels generally use the same technology, with slight variations leading to different wattages and efficiencies. The JAM54S30/MR, however, is more powerful despite having fewer cells. This means the panels are smaller in size but still generate a lot of electricity, making them a great choice for homes with limited roofing space.
How much do JA Solar panels cost?
The cost for individual panels can be difficult to determine because a lot of factors can change their pricing, such as local installation and costs to ship the panels to the installation location.
But, the average cost per watt for solar panels is 3.00, so it’s safe to assume that JA solar panels will be slightly below that price because they are manufactured in China, making their cost to build low.
The best way to find pricing for JA solar panels is to get a commitment-free quote from local installers who use them in their solar installations.

What is the JA Solar warranty?
JA Solar offers a 12-year product replacement warranty and a 30-year panel output warranty. Both of these warranty periods are longer than the industry standard (10 and 25 years, respectively), as well as those of solar panel manufacturer competitors like Q CELLS, Trina, and Panasonic, who typically only have a 10-year product warranty and 25-year performance warranty.
If after 30 years your solar panels are producing less than 82.5% of the original power output, the warranty will be honored. JA Solar does need to verify the decrease in output as well as any other product defects, but regardless it is a great warranty option that can make you feel at ease when investing in solar panels.
Module and cell technology. what makes JA Solar different?
Pictured: 60-cell MBB Half-cell Module. Image source: JA Solar
JA offers half-cut cell and PERC (or mono PERC) solar panels. Half-cut solar cells make solar panels more efficient; the cells are essentially split in half so that if one half is shaded or experiences malfunctions, the other half of the panel can continue to generate energy.
Additionally, all of the JA residential solar panels utilize PERC technology. PERC solar panels have an extra layer that captures more of the electricity-generating photons hitting the solar panel so that those photons can be turned into more electricity.
Having both half-cut cells and PERC technology make JA Solar panels have extremely high efficiency. An efficiency rating of above 20% is generally considered very good, and all of their modules hover around 20-21% efficiency. In fact, JA Solar panels are so efficient, they’re listed as one of the most efficient panels on the market.
Do we recommend JA Solar panels?
Yes, we recommend using JA Solar panels for your home solar panel installation, and they are even included in our list of top 10 recommended solar panel manufacturer brands. JA Solar panels are a great way to add renewable energy to your home.
JA Solar is a high quality brand with highly efficient solar panels that offers a great warranty, especially compared to other manufacturers. They have great customer reviews with an excellent review score on SolarReviews of over 4.5 stars.
Unfortunately, pricing is hard to pinpoint online, so to get a quote, your best bet is to talk to local solar installers.
Ultimately, the most important part of choosing which solar panels to go with is choosing your installer. A local installer with good reviews that has been in business for at least a few years is your best bet. They will be there to help every step of the way from the installation, to years down the line if you need help with your solar system. If they use JA Solar panels, it is because they find them the most practical, trustworthy option and you can trust their recommendation.
