6 FAQs about [Installation method of spiral pile photovoltaic panels]
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 helical piles good for solar panels?
Helical piles and micropiles work well in compression and tension applications and are ideally suited for solar panel installation. What are the differences between drilled shaft and helical piles? What equipment options are available for their installation?
Are helical piles a good choice for solar array anchoring?
Depending on ground conditions, helical piles can often be shorter in length and therefore cost less in installation time and energy consumption than comparable driven piles or drilled shafts. Some manufactures of helical piles for solar array anchoring assert installation rates as high as 500 piles per day.
How deep is a drilled shaft pile for a solar array?
Drilled shaft piles for solar array footings can vary anywhere from 6 to 24 inches in diameter and 5 to 30 feet deep, depending on site conditions and other variables. The drilled shaft or borehole is filled with high-strength cement grout or concrete. At times, steel casing or re-bar is used for reinforcement.
How are driven piles installed?
Driven piles are installed very quickly by pile drivers, of which there are several commonly used types such as the GAYK and Vermeer. Some of these machines are highly sophisticated, with GPS guidance and automated installation technology allowing installation of piles for very low cost, considerably below that of other foundations.
How do you anchor a ground mounted solar array?
By Brandon Wronski, Special To Solar Power World Various options exist for anchoring ground mounted solar arrays. These include drilled shaft piles (also called micropiles or caissons), driven piles and helical piers or ground screws.
