The Application of Ground Screws in Solar Panel Foundations
Time:2024-08-16

Ground Screw System is the most reliable solution for solar panel foundations. Because ground screws work well in both compression and tension, they are ideally suited for conditions inherent to energy-related construction sites, particularly those associated with solar projects. Better Screw Co's ground screws combat uplift created by high wind forces and frost heaving, which causes negative friction along pile shafts.

 

The sustainable design of Better Screw Co's ground screws means they can be reused and easily recycled. The ability to install helical piles with smaller equipment than driven piles means fewer disturbances to the surrounding area, maintaining the integrity of the site.

 

Benefits of using the Better Screw Co's ground screws for Solar Foundations:

  • Quick and easy installation using small equipment

  • High uplift resistance to wind loads

  • No need to wait for concrete to cure

  • No site preparation is necessary

  • Installs in any weather condition

  • Permanent or temporary, unlike driven piles

  • Easily extracted for reuse

  • Perfect for environmentally sensitive areas
