This machine is designed for pile ramming, screw driving and impact drilling for photovoltaic (solar) ground-mount foundations and general civil engineering projects. It installs steel pipe piles and screw piles quickly and efficiently.
No. Despite the name referring to solar photovoltaic applications (solar screw piles), the unit is driven by a diesel engine and hydraulic hammer. It is used to install foundations for solar PV systems rather than being powered by solar panels.
Brand: EVER STAR. Engine: Jiangsu diesel engine. Weight: 5400 kg. Dimensions (L*W*H): 5400*2250*2550 mm. Piling speed / efficiency: up to 2 m/min (2000 mm/min). Drilling depth: up to 3500 mm. Drilling diameter: 0–200 mm. Impact frequency: 400–800 bpm. Impact energy options: 1300 J / 1500 J / 1800 J.
Impact energy is offered in three ratings (1300 J, 1500 J, 1800 J) to suit different pile sizes and ground conditions; higher energy improves penetration in tougher soils. Impact frequency (400–800 blows per minute) determines how many impacts are delivered per minute—the correct combination of energy and frequency is selected based on pile type and soil.
The machine supports steel pipe piles and screw piles with drilling/installation diameters from 0 up to 200 mm. It is suitable for most common screw and tubular pile profiles used in PV foundations.
It performs well in soft to medium-dense soils (sand, silt, fill, some clays). For very hard rock, large boulders or extremely dense gravel layers, pre-drilling or specialized tooling may be required. Contact the supplier for site-specific recommendations.
The machine has a piling travel/efficiency of up to 2 m/min (2000 mm/min). Actual installation rate per pile depends on pile length, soil conditions, operator skill and site logistics; under favorable conditions a typical screw pile can be installed in a few minutes.
Compact design and the stated dimensions (5400*2250*2550 mm) and weight (5400 kg) allow transport on a flatbed truck. Ensure adequate access for unloading and site staging. Consult local transport regulations and vehicle capacities.
Operators should be trained and competent in hydraulic piling equipment operation. Standard PPE (hard hat, safety boots, eye and ear protection, high-visibility clothing) is required. Follow the operation manual, maintain exclusion zones, and observe local safety and environmental regulations.
Regular maintenance includes daily inspections (hydraulic lines, fasteners, engine oil/coolant levels), routine engine servicing per manufacturer intervals, hydraulic oil and filter changes, and scheduled inspection of hammer components and wear parts. A supplier-provided maintenance schedule should be followed.
Spare parts (wear parts for the hammer, hydraulic components, filters, engine parts) and after-sales service are typically available through the manufacturer or authorized dealers. Contact EVER STAR or your local distributor for parts lists and lead times.
Common options include different pile adaptors and drives for various pile profiles, extension rods for greater depth, specialized bits for rocky ground, pile guides and alignment fixtures, and additional hydraulic or control system options. Check with the supplier for available configurations.
Yes. While optimized for solar PV foundation work, it is versatile and can be used for other civil engineering and construction piling tasks where steel pipe or screw piles and impact drilling are appropriate.
Soft to medium soils allow fast installation. Hard, rocky or heavily compacted layers reduce efficiency and may require pre-drilling, specialized tooling, or staged installation. Site clearing, leveling and removal of large obstructions will improve productivity and equipment life.
Warranty terms, lead times and customization options vary by supplier and region. Contact EVER STAR or your local authorized dealer for current warranty coverage, delivery estimates and options for customization or configuration to meet your project requirements.
