Logisticus Group’s third solar Safe Harbor warehouse – located in Redlands, CA – is wrapping up component receiving after operations launched Jan. 13.
A fourth major solar-focused warehousing operation in Kansas has just begun receipt of modules this week at one of our existing locations. This Phase II receiving effort is estimated to last one month.
Our first three solar warehouses combined have successfully received, inspected, validated + stored in excess of one million solar modules to cover an area square footage equal to nearly 16 football fields (including end zones)!
Thank you to our staff for the tremendous coordination of daily warehouse activities. Special thanks to Warehousing Team Lead Sam Griebel, with assistance from Warehouse Specialist Conner Klein in setup + ensuring smooth operational launches.
