Shipping & Returns

Shipping Policy

Shipping is calculated at checkout!

If you are interested in enhanced shipping services such as threshold shipping or expedited delivery, contact our team and they will be happy to assist. Please keep in mind enhanced shipping services are subject to availability and additional costs.

Threshold Shipping: This involves the item being brought onto your porch, or into a sheltered/garage area.
Expedited Delivery - This guarantees your items will be prioritized, and will arrive sooner than standard delivery times.

To inquire about enhanced shipping services, contact our team via live chat, email: sales@directsolarpower.com or call us (848) 600-6420.

Order Confirmation

As soon as you place your order, you will receive an order confirmation e-mail. This means that we have received your order in our system and pre-authorized your credit card for the purchase. In the rare case that your item is on backorder or unavailable, we will void the pre-authorization or reach out to you via e-mail with the options on how we can proceed. If your item(s) are available for shipment within the expected shipment window, we will process the charges and submit the order for shipment.

Shipment Window

The shipping window varies from product to product. Please review the product page or contact our team for the expected shipping time of your product. We update these daily so you know what to expect.

Order Shipment

All orders are processed Monday through Friday. We strive to ship your items as fast as possible, so your order may ship sooner than estimated, and you may receive your items in multiple deliveries depending on your order.

Tracking will be sent to the provided email address. If you do not receive tracking information from us within 7 business days of your order, feel free to follow up with us at sales@directsolarpower.com.

If you’d like to place an order and are outside of the USA, contact us for a custom quote.

Curbside Freight Shipments

Items that are too large or delicate to ship by standard ground carrier are required to ship freight. Freight carriers are specially trained to handle oversized and fragile items.

Here is what to expect from the freight shipping process:

Once your order ships you will receive a tracking number that has an estimated delivery date.
The carrier will call you at your provided phone number to schedule a delivery appointment within the next 1-2 business days. Only weekday appointments are available. If you are unable to receive the shipment within 1-2 business days of its arrival at the freight terminal, please contact us.
All shipments are delivered “curbside”. The driver will bring them to the curb and is not authorized to move it further. Anything past curbside must be arranged before placing the order (see “shipping options” above).
Upon delivery, it is important that you inspect the shipment thoroughly before signing. Any damage or missing items should be noted on the delivery receipt. You have 5 business days from the delivery date to submit a claim for damage or missing items. To submit a claim email: sales@directsolarpower.com or call us (848) 600-6420.

p.s. In some cases, some of our client’s selected standard curbside shipping and tipped the delivery driver to bring it in their garage or on their driveway. Try this at your own risk.

Warranty

In the unlikely event your product experiences a defect, our technical team will guide you through the manufacturer’s warranty claim process. Here is a general outline of what to expect:

Due to the technical nature of our products, troubleshooting is required by the manufacturer to process a warranty claim. You or your installer will need to troubleshoot and diagnose the problem on-site while working in tandem with our technical team. If troubleshooting leads to what the manufacturer deems as a defective part, a warranty claim will need to be submitted to the manufacturer.

Once the claim is submitted, the manufacturer will review and approve or deny the claim. If they have all the information and accept the claim, your warranty replacement part(s) will begin processing for shipment. In some cases, the manufacturer will also cover the cost of labor, refer to the manufacturer’s warranty for more details. If for any reason, the claim is denied, or we need more information, we will notify you as soon as possible.

All warranties are processed as exchanges. You can expect to receive a pre-paid return label for the defective part(s), which will need to be returned within 30 days of receiving the warranty replacement(s).

Warranty claims can take anywhere from 1-4 weeks to process, depending on the season.
