As you can see from the information above, there are a wealth of advantages and disadvantages to using both ballast and piling as foundations for a PV farm. However, it is worth noting that, unlike ballast, pilling does allow solar panels
The serpentine pile exhibits a significantly higher ultimate uplift bearing capacity of 70.25 kN, which is 8.56 times that of the square pile and 10.94 times that of the circular pile.
Foundation selection is critical for a cost effective installation of PV solar panel support structures. Lack of proper investigation of subsurface conditions can lead to selection

and 5 columns fixed photovoltaic support, the typical permanent load of the PV support is 4679.4 N, the wind load being 1.05 kN/m 2, the snow load being 0.89 kN/m 2 and the seismic load is
The SPV-50Y hydraulic photovoltaic pile driver, also known as a solar pile driver, solar pile driving machine, photovoltaic pile driving machine, PV drilling rig, or solar PV pile driver, is an
Micropiles are small-diameter (normally less than 300 mm) drilled and grouted friction pile that is usually reinforced (up to 20% AS/ AC), it can withstand axial and/or lateral loads. Micropiles
Ballast takes up more square footage than piling because it''s placed directly on the ground. Ballast can affect plant growth, due to soil compaction making them unsuitable for solar PV
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.

As you can see from the information above, there are a wealth of advantages and disadvantages to using both ballast and piling as foundations for a PV farm. However, it is worth noting that,
When refusal is encountered during pile driving there are typically three options. One is to conduct a pull test to see if the driven pile has sufficient pull out resistance as it is
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.
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.
HWL300R photovoltaic piling machine is a high-performance piling equipment launched by Hengwang Group for various piling applications. Originally designed for early-stage piling in photovoltaic power stations, HWL300R has undergone continuous R&D and upgrading to make it suitable for piling projects in farms, pastures, orchards, and other sites.
Hydraulic pile drivers are a versatile piece of equipment commonly used in solar farm construction. These machines offer the flexibility to switch between impact and vibratory driving methods, depending on the soil conditions and project requirements.
The pile driving installation process begins with site clearing and preparation —which involves removing any vegetation, debris, or obstructions that could interfere with the work. After the site is cleared, the locations where the piles will be installed are carefully marked based on the project’s layout plan.
Case study #1 (steel piles in windy environments): A solar farm in a coastal area with high wind loads utilized steel piles with additional corrosion protection. The flexibility of steel allowed the piles to withstand both the high wind forces and the corrosive coastal environment.
