Working Principle of the Solar Pile Driver
The photovoltaic pile driver uses a high-torque hydraulic power head to rotate and drive the drill pipe into the ground with precise depth and angle control.
During operation, soil is displaced efficiently, forming stable pile holes with minimal vibration.
This process ensures:
- Strong long-term foundation stability for PV structures
- Accurate pile positioning
- Consistent depth control
- Reduced rework rate
Advantages of Solar Piling Machine
