As solar energy becomes more popular, the need for a fast, cost effective foundation system has emerged. Helical piles have become the go-to foundation system for freestanding solar arrays.

What are Solar Panel Foundation Helical Piles?

Solar Foundation Piles are round steel pipe piles available in varying lengths that can include either a plate to which the solar panel bracket(s) can be attached or holes drilled into the end of the pipe where clamps can attach the solar panel brackets. The tip is composed of a fi sh tail stinger and a single helix to allow for easy installation in most soils.

Steel beams are a popular choice for bearing piles for bridges, buildings, stadiums, and industrial structures. The same properties that make them suitable for large structures also make them useful for some of the most lightly loaded, yet extensive structures currently being built, such as solar arrays.

Advantages of Steel Beams

Beams have several advantages over other structural elements when being used as piles for solar structures.

Steel beams are strong and the geometric center of the pile is the same as the mass center.

Easy to drive through a wide variety of soil conditions that can be seen on expansive sites.

The flat surface of the flange and web of beams makes it easy to connect the super structure to the pile with a wide variety of bolt patterns.

The beams are available in a multitude of steel grades and shapes to accommodate the loads and soil conditions of a particular site.

Solar beams can be orientated so the strong axis carries the large lateral load, as most of the stress in solar piles is due to the wind load on the large sail created by the panels.

Ease of transportation due to ability to bundle and stack efficently
