With demand for solar energy growing, it’s important for solar contractors to have a reliable ground mounting foundation that can be quickly installed. Helical piles are a smart choice since they can be augured into place in just minutes, and the piles’ self-testing design gives a clear measurement of their support during installation. At Cantsink, we’ve been manufacturing and working with helical piles since 1988 and specialize in creating custom piles that many contractors require. We have professional engineers on staff who design piles with features perfectly suited for your solar ground mounting project. Whether you need a specialized bracket to attach piles to your solar panel supports or pile extensions to keep panels above snow in cold climates, our skilled staff can generally have your custom piles designed and manufactured in just two weeks. We also keep hundreds of thousands of feet of standard sized piles in stock and ready for immediate shipping.

All of our helical piles, whether standard or custom, are among the strongest available for ground mounting solar arrays thanks to several features, including:

• Patented corrugated helix plates
• Cold-formed helix plates
• Robotic welding
• Patent-pending lateral supports

Our helical piles are also more environmentally friendly choice for ground mounting solar panels because we consciously manufacture them using eco-friendly materials and processes. The steel we purchase for our piles is 90 percent recycled and our piles can be easily removed and recycled if necessary, unlike concrete foundations. We also manufacture our helical piers in a net-zero energy facility powered by solar arrays. In addition to preserving the environment, our recycled steel and naturally generated energy help us keep production costs down so we can offer our piles at low, manufacture-direct prices.
