Engineered Foundations for Solar Farms & PV Arrays

At Screw Pile Installers, we provide precision-engineered helical pile foundations for solar farms and photovoltaic (PV) arrays of every size — from community solar projects to utility-scale installations spanning thousands of modules.
Whether you’re building on clay, sand, slopes, or frost-prone terrain, our screw piles provide unmatched stability and faster installation
than traditional concrete footings.

Solar Helical Pile Systems You Can Trust

Our screw pile systems deliver speed, consistency, and verified load capacity for solar developers, EPC contractors, and racking manufacturers. Every pile is torque-monitored and engineered for uplift, lateral, and compressive loads, ensuring racking systems remain stable in all soil and weather conditions.
WHY CHOOSE US

Why Solar Developers Choose Screw Piles

Fast, Repeatable Installation
Install hundreds of piles per day with precise torque control — no concrete, no delays.
Immediate Load Capacity
Racking can be installed immediately after pile installation; no curing or staging required.
Perfect for Remote or Uneven Terrain
Compact, track-mounted equipment accesses tight or irregular sites with minimal grading.
All-Season Performance
Works year-round — even in frost, saturated soils, or cold climates where concrete fails.
Sustainable and Low-Impact
Zero excavation waste and minimal ground disturbance — ideal for environmentally sensitive sites.
Long-Term Durability
Hot-dip galvanized steel ensures corrosion resistance and a 75+ year service life.

Applications in Solar Construction

Our systems are trusted across a full range of solar and hybrid installations.
Utility-Scale Solar Farms
Reliable, repeatable foundations for multi-megawatt sites with thousands of arrays.
Community & Co-op Solar Projects
Cost-effective, code-compliant foundations for mid-size distributed energy systems.
Commercial & Industrial Rooftop or Ground Mounts
Stable, compact foundations for smaller projects on uneven terrain or restricted sites.
Solar Carports & EV Charging Sites
Engineered support for canopies, chargers, and ancillary electrical infrastructure.
Hybrid Solar + Storage Sites
Integrate solar arrays with BESS foundations for clean energy hubs.

Let’s Build a Strong Foundation Together

No waiting for concrete to cure, foundations are ready the same day, saving valuable build time.
Our Process

Our Solar Installation Process

Our process emphasizes accuracy, efficiency, and documentation, ensuring every foundation meets engineering and racking system specifications.
[01]
Geotechnical Review & Layout Design
We analyze soil conditions, racking loads, and pile spacing to determine the ideal helix size and embedment depth.
[03]
oad Testing & Verification
Proof testing confirms capacity and lateral resistance per design parameters.
[05]
Structural Integration
Pile caps or grillage frames are installed to anchor tower bases or structural mounts per engineered drawings.
[02]
Pile Installation & Torque Monitoring
Each pile is installed to pre-engineered torque values, verifying bearing capacity in real time.
[04]
Racking Integration
Brackets or couplers are attached directly to accommodate all major racking systems and configurations.
[06]
Documentation & Turnover
You receive torque logs, layout as-builts, and QA data for full project records.
