4 FAQs about Photovoltaic support pile bidding

Can a photovoltaic bracket pile foundation meet different bearing capacity requirements?

Therefore, this paper aims to investigate the application of bionics principles to propose a novel type of photovoltaic bracket pile foundation designed to meet diverse bearing capacity requirements, specifically suited for desert gravel areas: the photovoltaic bracket serpentine pile foundation.

What is a PV racking pile foundation?

As the primary load-bearing element of the photovoltaic power generation system, the PV racking pile foundation not only supports the system's own weight and external loads, but also constitutes a significant portion of the total construction cost due to the extensive quantity used 10, 11.

Does a photovoltaic bracket pile foundation withstand wind loading?

The traditional photovoltaic bracket pile foundation, while possessing high compressive strength, is susceptible to uplift forces under wind loading, leading to a host of issues 15.

Can helical piles be used in PV power plants?

In conclusion, numerous scholars have conducted extensive research on the use of helical piles, PHC piles, and bored pile foundations in PV power plants through field experiments, model experiments, and numerical simulations 25, 26. These studies encompass corrosion prevention, construction, bearing capacity, and pile-soil interaction.
