Piling at the heart of every utility-scale solar project. Solar piles are generally steel H-beams, 12 to 16 ft in length and up to 200 lbs in weight. A large-scale solar farm requires tens of thousands of piles to be installed, each of which must be driven into the ground upwards of 8 ft and positioned at an accuracy of less than an inch.
As the demand for renewable energy increases—solar farms are becoming an ideal market for pile driving contractors due to the need for stable, long-lasting foundations that can support large-scale solar installations.
When supporting the upper photovoltaic modules and other structures, the pile foundation must cope with the vertical load generated by these structures in addition to the lateral horizontal load caused by wind, waves, and other natural factors. This results in more complicated loading characteristics for the pile foundation.
Solar Pile International (SPI) was established to provide specialised solar farm foundations, piling and technology to the global solar farm industry. We provide a range of products from standard solar farm beams to our patented Solar X Piles. The company began as a partnership between Blade Pile Group (BPG) & BCI Engineering.
A large-scale solar farm requires tens of thousands of piles to be installed, each of which must be driven into the ground upwards of 8 ft and positioned at an accuracy of less than an inch. Together these piles form the structural foundation of the solar array.
At the same time, the expansion capacity of marine photovoltaic systems is more robust, allowing them to adapt to power supply needs of different scales. Fixed pile foundations are usually used in offshore areas. Compared to floating offshore photovoltaic systems, fixed pile foundation systems are safer .
