How to Follow Up on Solar Equipment Orders and Deliveries
Keep every solar equipment order easy to identify, follow up and check at delivery. A clear record helps you explain what was agreed, what has changed and which question needs an answer.
For all order updates and delivery follow-up, contact pv.market support first through the contact page. Include your order reference and the specific help you need. This guide is a practical checklist; it does not replace the terms that apply to your order or promise a response time, delivery date or claim outcome.
1. Keep one complete order record
Save the final accepted quotation, order confirmation and order reference together. Record the supplier name, exact model and variant, quantities and sales units, included accessories, delivery destination and agreed commercial terms. Keep revised documents dated so an older version is not mistaken for the final agreement.
Separate a quotation or enquiry reference from a confirmed order reference. If you are unsure whether an order has been confirmed, ask support to clarify its status. Keep open questions visible rather than filling missing details with assumptions.
2. Send a focused follow-up to support
Identify the order, item and quantity concerned, then explain the question in a few sentences. Include the latest agreed milestone, the date of the last update and any relevant change. Ask for the current status, the next action, who is handling it and when you should expect the next update.
Use the existing correspondence reference when available. Share relevant supporting documents through the channel support confirms, and keep unnecessary personal or payment information out of attachments. Never include a password or one-time login code.
3. Distinguish readiness, dispatch and arrival
Ask which stage the update describes: stock allocation, preparation, ready for collection, handed to a carrier, in transit or delivered. A ready date is not the same as a dispatch date, and a dispatch date is not an arrival date. Record whether a date is an estimate or a confirmed arrangement.
Where tracking or shipment documents are available, ask support for the applicable reference and how to use it. For split deliveries, keep each shipment and remaining quantity separate. If a milestone changes, request the revised plan and the next update rather than treating an earlier estimate as current.
4. Confirm the delivery arrangements
Before the planned handover, confirm the destination, receiving contact, access restrictions and receiving hours with support. Ask which party is responsible for unloading or any required handling equipment under the agreed arrangement. Have the receiving team check that it can accommodate the shipment.
Send requests to change an address, date or quantity to support promptly. Ask whether the change can be accepted and whether it affects the order. Treat a requested change as pending until you receive confirmation; do not assume a message automatically changes an order already being prepared or shipped.
5. Prepare the document and receiving checks
Ask which documents will be available before dispatch and which will accompany delivery. Depending on the agreed scope, these may include the packing list, delivery note, invoice, applicable product documents and warranty information. Keep any missing document on the follow-up list.
Give the receiving team the agreed model and quantity record. Use the exact-model checklist to compare labels, variants and supporting documents instead of relying only on the brand name or headline power rating.

6. Record the condition and any discrepancies
At receipt, compare the delivered package count, item identification and visible condition with the agreed record and delivery documents. Record the date and the specific items affected. Where safe and practical, photograph packaging, labels and visible damage so the issue is clear.
For missing, damaged or incorrect items, contact pv.market support first and promptly provide the order reference, affected model and quantity, delivery details and relevant photographs. Ask what evidence to retain and what to do next. Follow the applicable receiving and reporting instructions; this checklist does not extend any reporting deadline.
7. Confirm the process before a return or claim
Ask support which policy and process apply to your order, destination and issue. Request the required documents, responsible contact and any collection or return instructions before arranging a shipment back. Keep the product identification, packaging details and correspondence available for review.
A delivery discrepancy, a return request and a later warranty enquiry may need different information. Do not assume one request establishes eligibility for another. Review the published policy and ask support to clarify its application to your order; this guide does not promise an exchange, refund, credit or warranty approval.
8. Keep a short follow-up log
Use these fields for each open item: order reference; model and quantity; issue or question; evidence shared; last update and date; next action; responsible contact; expected next update; and outcome. Mark unresolved items as pending. Save the final written response and any corrected documents with the order record.
A useful message can follow this structure: “Order reference: [reference]. Item and quantity: [details]. Our question or issue: [summary]. Latest update received: [date and details]. Evidence available: [documents or photos]. Please confirm the current status, next action and when we should follow up.”
For future purchases, prepare a clear RFQ and compare the same supplied scope before confirming an order. Good preparation makes later order and delivery checks easier.
