In May, a construction company in Luzon, Philippines, launched a large-scale photovoltaic project and needed to drive thousands of steel piles within a tight schedule. Traditional manual piling methods were too slow and inconsistent to meet the project’s demands. To boost efficiency, the contractor turned to YG Machinery and purchased two solar piling machine. After deployment, the machines demonstrated excellent stability and high penetration efficiency, completing pile installation ahead of schedule. The client praised their performance, reliability, and YG’s responsive technical support.

Customer’s Challenges
Before choosing YG, the Philippine customer faced several difficulties:
- Complex soil conditions: The project site contained a mix of sandy soil and hard layers, which made manual or light equipment inefficient.
- Tight deadlines: The solar farm needed to be connected to the grid before the rainy season.
- High labor costs: Hiring a large workforce for manual piling increased expenses significantly.
- Durability concerns: Equipment needed to withstand the hot and humid local climate.
YG Solution: Reliable Solar Piling Machine
YG recommended two sets of advanced solar pile drivers designed for high efficiency and adaptability. Key advantages included:
- High efficiency: Each photovoltaic pile driver can install 200–300 piles per day, reducing project time by nearly 30%.
- Adaptability: Powerful hydraulic systems allow the machines to work in soft soil, gravel, and even partially rocky ground.
- Labor savings: Two operators can run the machine, cutting labor costs by nearly half..
- Durable design: Built to perform reliably in tropical climates with minimal maintenance.


Project Results in the Philippines
After introducing the two machines, the construction team noticed immediate improvements:
- The construction team installed piles three times faster than they could with manual methods.
- They finished the project two weeks ahead of schedule and successfully avoided delays during the rainy season.
- They also reduced overall costs by approximately 20% through labor and time savings.
The customer expressed strong satisfaction and is now considering purchasing another solar pile driver for an upcoming renewable energy project.
