Under the global new energy construction boom, solar pile driver machine has become an indispensable core equipment in the ground mounting of photovoltaic power plants. Whether it is a mountainous project, a sandy project, or a high-density hard soil environment, a suitable PV pile driver can not only improve the construction efficiency, but also directly affect the cycle and cost of the power plant construction.

The Position and Importance of Pile Driver Machine in Pv Power Plant Construction
In a complete PV power plant EPC project, ground piling is the most important part of the foundation construction stage:
- Undertake the ground foundation construction and upper rack installation, which is the key node connecting “civil” and “electrical”;
- Piling efficiency directly affects the installation rhythm of the stent, which in turn affects the laying of components and the grid connection time of the power station;
- Piling accuracy determines the stability of the stent structure, which affects the overall wind and seismic resistance in the later stage;
- The simultaneous operation of multiple piling machines on site can greatly shorten the working period and save labor.
Because of this, more and more projects regard the number of piling machines as a key productivity tool, especially for ground-based large-scale power station projects, which are usually equipped with 3~6 piling machines for “push construction” to quickly form a large-scale stent foundation.


Customers’ Common Purchasing Misconceptions
In the process of receiving a large number of overseas customers, we found that many buyers have the following misconceptions when purchasing photovoltaic piling machine:
❌ Misconception 1: Only look at the price and ignore the adaptability of piling
Case: A customer purchased a lower-priced small wheeled piling machine for use in mountainous areas, and as a result, the machine couldn’t go up the slope, and could only be returned for replacement.
✅ Suggestion: Prioritize to match the use environment, then compare the price/performance ratio.
❌ Myth 2: Neglecting Construction Efficiency Needs
Case: A customer in the Middle East bought only one machine at the initial stage, and found that the piling speed couldn’t keep up with the pace of the power station construction, and the additional purchase delayed the overall progress.
✅ Suggestion: Estimate the number of equipment required according to the total amount of piling and construction period of the project.
❌ Misconception 3: Neglecting brand after-sales and spare parts service
Case: Local high temperature caused hydraulic system overheating after a customer purchased it, and no after-sales guidance could not solve the problem.
✅ Suggestion: Choose a brand supplier with rich export experience and can provide remote technical service.


Purchasing Multiple Solar Pile Driver Machines at One Time Has Become a Trend
In the actual orders, we find that many customers start to upgrade from “one trial” to “multiple at one time”. For example:
1. Argentinean customer: purchased 4 sets of tracked solar pile driver machine at one time, which are used in 50MW power plant to cooperate with the construction team in zoning operation;
2. Saudi Arabia customer: purchased 3 sets of PV pile driver for ground power plant in desert area, construction efficiency increased by more than 40%;
3. Turkish customer: purchased 2 sets of photovoltaic piling machine and 1 set of drilling equipment, realizing the fast entry of hard soil project.
This procurement method has the following advantages:
1. Large quantity purchase can get better price and logistics program;
2. Multiple equipment can be constructed synchronously, shortening the overall construction period by 30%-50%;
3. Partition management improves management efficiency and reduces waiting time and waste of resources.
