Solar Farm Pile Driving Solution

Description

Semi-autonomous solar piling technology

Combining Carlson PDGrade machine guidance technology with the Vermeer PD10 solar pile driver machine, this advanced system assists piling contractors to drive more piles, more accurately every day. 

Our semi-autonomous solar piling solution is suitable for all sizes of solar farms, from small to very large sites. By eliminating the need to setup stringlines, the Carlson machine guidance technology enables solar contractors to reduce the cost per pile whilst meeting tolerance requirements to ensure the racking system fits perfectly to the posts. 

With an easy to use control box mounted to the machine, the piling operator can view real time information about the position and depth of each pile as he or she works.
