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.
The average cost of BOS and installation for PV systems is in the range of USD 1.6 to USD 1.85/W, depending on whether the PV system is ground-mounted or rooftop, and whether it has a tracking system (Bony, 2010 and Photon, 2011). The LCOE of PV systems is therefore highly dependent on BOS and installation costs, which include:
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.
Solar pile structures are foundational components supporting solar panel arrays, often composed of durable materials like steel or aluminum. These vertical supports anchor the panels securely to the ground, ensuring stability and resistance against environmental factors.
Based on a thorough analysis of the site, engineers design suitable foundations for solar panels and support structures. The foundation design takes into account factors such as soil bearing capacity, settlement, and potential for soil liquefaction or other geotechnical hazards.
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.
