Solar Pile Market Report 2026

The solar pile market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $0.48 billion in 2025 to $0.53 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of utility-scale solar farms, increasing demand for fast project execution, growth of ground-mounted solar capacity, availability of pile driving technologies, rising investment in solar infrastructure.

The solar pile market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $0.75 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of large-scale solar projects, rising focus on cost-efficient installation methods, expansion of renewable energy parks, growing use of automated pile driving equipment, increasing demand for durable foundation systems. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing deployment of ground-mounted solar installations, rising adoption of helical and screw pile foundations, growing demand for rapid-installation solar pile systems, expansion of corrosion-resistant foundation materials, enhanced focus on site-specific foundation design.

The increasing demand for solar energy is projected to drive the growth of the solar panel market in the future. Solar energy refers to the power obtained from the sun’s radiation, which is converted into electricity or heat using solar panels. This demand is fueled by the environmental advantages of solar energy, decreasing costs of solar technology, and the need for renewable energy sources to mitigate carbon emissions. Solar piles serve as foundational supports for solar panel installations, ensuring the stability and durability of solar farms by anchoring the panels to the ground, even in challenging terrains. For instance, in January 2024, the U.S. Energy Information Administration, a government agency in the U.S., reported that U.S. solar power generation is expected to rise by 75%, increasing from 163 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) in 2023 to 286 billion kWh by 2025. Consequently, the rising demand for solar energy is driving growth in the solar panel market.

Key companies in the solar pile market are concentrating on developing cutting-edge technologies, such as fully autonomous solar piling systems, aimed at improving efficiency, lowering labor costs, and speeding up the installation process for large-scale solar projects. A fully autonomous solar piling system automates the installation of foundation piles in solar farms, carrying out tasks such as surveying and pile driving without the need for manual intervention. For example, in March 2023, Built Robotics, a U.S.-based robotics engineering firm, introduced the RPD 35, which is the world’s first fully autonomous solar piling system designed to significantly accelerate the construction of utility-scale solar foundations. By integrating surveying, pile distribution, driving, and inspection into a single streamlined process, the RPD 35 enables a two-person crew to install over 300 piles daily, achieving speeds up to five times faster than traditional methods. This system utilizes advanced AI, a custom pile cartridge, and RTK GPS technology for precise installation, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in constructing solar farms.

In August 2024, Nextpower Inc., a US-based renewable energy technology company, acquired Solar Pile International for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Nextpower aimed to expand its solar foundation solutions and strengthen its integrated offerings for utility-scale solar installations across diverse soil conditions. Solar Pile International Pty Ltd is a Hong Kong-based supplier of solar foundations, specializing in piling solutions for ground-mounted solar farms, particularly designed for softer and expansive soil environments.
