These days, solar contractors are looking for solutions to move quickly, reducing downtime, and increasing productivity. One way this can be accomplished is through material handling logistics. Better logistics helps companies complete jobs more efficiently in a shorter time frame.
Having many other uses, steel piles are often used to build the foundations for utility-scale PV applications. In use, they become exposed to different types of corrosion of various extents. Some of the main elements that impact the level of corrosion are pile shape, driving method and the type of material. Common shapes include H-piles, pipe-piles, screw piles and disc piles – all of which can have different material types. H-piles have become the most used for solar structures, because they have very good structural characteristics. This allows them to be well-suited for the loads seen in solar installations.
In general, corrosion takes place when two different metals come into contact with a conductive liquid, resulting in a flow of DC electricity. Pile corrosion can be divided into two groups: Atmospheric and soil corrosion.
I dreamed of traveling to the United States, seeing this great new world, which is life overseas, how work and technology look like… And here I am!
My name is Sebastian Bauer and I am a 23 year old just starting work in the solar industry. Before entering the industry I had a very basic understanding of renewable energy in all of its forms; I knew what a solar panel was, I knew that it was used to power everything from single homes to entire manufacturing facilities, and that everyone was saying …
We are very proud to have achieved another milestone – being a SOLTEACH PRO.
Solteach Pro is the comprehensive factory-certification PV plant design and installation training program of Soltec’s SF7 Single-Axis Tracker application. This professional program is aimed at solar industry companies and workers specializing in solar tracker design and installation in PV on a utility scale.
Las emisiones nocivas para el planeta están en aceleración por lo que necesitan reducirse tan rápido y enertanto como sea posible. Hacer una transición a energías renovables es mi prioridad. Hacer esta visión una realidad se debe a compañías como Sunstall Inc. en la cual estoy empezando mis prácticas profesionales.
Pile Load Testing helps to reduce cost and avoids economic losses if interpreted the right way. Sometimes project developers are getting the sticker shock when they hear the price for a load test, especially when it is a small project where the cost impact is high. Let’s us convince you that it is in your best interest that this is done professionally with the proper procedures. One single workflow will provide you multiple benefits for your project. Read more
