What Is A Helical Pile Foundation And How Does It Work?
This nearly two-century old foundation technology is once again transforming how we build by making solar energy installations quicker, easier, and more sustainable to build
Components Of A Helical Pile
It may not look like it at first glance, but helical piles deliver incredible load capacities in a streamlined package that outperforms other foundations
Pile Cap
The pile cap connects a helical pile to your structure. They come in a variety of designs to suit any project.
Pile Shaft
A sturdy steel pipe forms the body of a helical pile and transfers loads down to the helix plates
Helix Plates
These specially-formed plates are the magic behind a helical pile. Their shape helps turn the pile into the ground and anchor in firm soil
Pilot Point
In order to accurately and cleanly penetrate dense ground, a slant-cut pilot point gives us power and precision

What To Know About Helical Piles For Solar Energy Panels
Installation Is Easier Than Ever
The typical process for getting a foundation like concrete for your solar energy installation is extensive, expensive, and requires excavation. A helical pile simply turns into the ground without causing disturbance or spoils to haul away, reducing timelines and site remediation.
Versatile, Customizable, Adaptable
Where can you use a helical pile foundation? Practically anywhere! One of the reasons more engineers and contractors prefer helical foundations for solar energy is because they can be installed in remote locations, on sloped land, and in tough conditions.
Supremely Strong & Durable
High winds, violent storms, expansive soils, excessive ground moisture, all of these factors can cause your solar panel foundation to shift or fail. Helical piles anchor deep in the earth, securing in supportive layers that defend against any movement or damage.
No Impact To Land
Tearing up wide chunks of land to install solar panels can defeat the purpose of eco-friendly energy in the first place. Helical piles do not disturb the land on installation and can be easily reversed from the ground in the future, restoring the site back to its natural state.
How Your Solar Energy Helical Pile Process Works
Not sure what goes into using helical pile foundations to build your solar energy installation? You're not alone! That's why we've made the process as easy as 1-2-3
Consultation & Assessment
Having helical piles installed for your solar energy farm can seem like a big, and intimidating, task. We understand that, which is why your project starts with a consultation to identify exactly how we can help.

Why use helical piles for my solar energy installation?
Speed, ease, and eco-friendliness. In our opinion those are the top 3 reasons you'd want to use helical piles for solar farms, although there's many more! Because helical piles are quick to install, hold enormous weight, and create no land impact, they're perfect for solar energy.
How many helical piles will I need for my solar energy project?
It all depends on the size of your solar project, soil conditions, location, and a few other factors. That's why we can't give a "one size fits all" answer! However, if you get in touch with our team we'd be happy to help you design a helical pile solution for your solar project.
Can I trust the performance of a helical pile?
Yes, you can! Helical piles have been widely used and studied since their invention in the 1830's. In fact, you can even find highrise buildings in New York city that have been standing for years on helical foundations with zero issues. Engineer-approved and trusted.
How come I haven't heard of helical piles before?
Even though helical piles have been around for nearly 200 years and are used extensively, many in New York are still unaware of them. This is mostly due to the widespread use of concrete, however more contractors and engineers are switching to helical foundations.
How long can a helical pile foundation last?
