NOVELTY - Photovoltaic module shipping is performed by providing shipping pallet and stacking photovoltaic modules (10) in the shipping pallet. The modules are each positioned in the pallet in a core surface weight bearing configuration, in which 50-100% of a transparent layer of each of the modules is a weight bearing surface. The method includes transferring weight of overlying modules to greater than or equal to 50% of the solar cells in the modules and then from the solar cells to a bottom module layer, which transfers weight to any underlying modules.    USE - Method for photovoltaic module shipping (claimed), preferably for high density packing and shipping of solar cell modules.    ADVANTAGE - The method provides for improved shipping that maximize density of the number of modules that can be shipped in a container, and reduce mount of packing material used to ship solar modules without increasing risk of damage.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Photovoltaic module shipping comprises providing shipping pallet and stacking photovoltaic modules (10) in the shipping pallet. The modules are each positioned in the pallet in a core surface weight bearing configuration, in which 50-100% of a transparent layer of each of the modules is a weight bearing surface. The method includes transferring weight of overlying modules to greater than or equal to 50% of the solar cells in the modules and then from the solar cells to a bottom module layer, which transfers weight to any underlying modules. A central portion of each module in the stack is weight bearing and a full perimeter of each of the modules is not weight bearing. The modules each have structure extending beyond a plane of the module which prevents stacking in the core surface weight bearing configuration without shifting of the modules along an axis.
