What is a solar pile & foundation?

At Exactus Energy, we specialize in providing thorough solar pile and foundation designs to set you up for success through installation and beyond. Solar pile structures are foundational components supporting solar panel arrays, often composed of durable materials like steel or aluminum.

How do I choose a pile for a solar farm?

The load-bearing capacity needed for the solar farm is another critical factor in selecting the type of pile. Projects requiring high load capacities—such as those with large, heavy solar panels or in regions with significant wind forces—may necessitate the use of concrete or composite piles.

Are piles worth the cost?

For a soft 10-MW site, piles cost $7,238 less than screws, can be installed for $200,000 less, and go in four days faster than screws. Net result: A $0.021 per watt cost advantage. But that same 10-MW project with a 50% refusal rate tells a different story; piles are no longer an effective option.

What are the different types of concrete piles?

Concrete piles, including both precast and cast-in-situ types, are another popular option. They are often used in projects where the load requirements are substantial or where ground conditions are particularly challenging.

Are solar farms a good market for Pile Driving Contractors?

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.

Can concrete piles be used in rocky terrain?

Case study #2 (concrete piles in rocky terrain): A solar farm located in a mountainous region with rocky terrain opted for concrete piles. The high compressive strength of concrete made it the ideal choice to handle the challenging ground conditions and heavy loads.
