The U.S. solar market has been steadily growing by an average of 49% per year since 2010, and the need for a universally viable and scalable solution to secure solar panels is critical. Solar panels are subjected to a lot of environmental abuse. Strong storms and flying debris can cause huge amounts of damage, and when wind speeds increase, these panels are as vulnerable as any other freestanding structure. Keeping these pieces firmly rooted into the surface ensures they can stay upright and serve their purpose.
Using helical piles as the foundation for solar panel structures can safeguard this expensive equipment against the most common and severe environmental threats. Here’s how installing helical piles, according to Chance Foundations, can keep your panels where they’re supposed to be:
