Can I print solar resource and PV potential maps?

Yes, you can print solar resource and PV potential maps, in PDF and PNG formats for regions and individual countries.

How do I choose a pile for a solar farm?

The load-bearing capacity needed for the solar farm is another critical factor in selecting the type of pile. Projects requiring high load capacities—such as those with large, heavy solar panels or in regions with significant wind forces—may necessitate the use of concrete or composite piles.

Where can I find solar resource data?

Explore solar resource data via our online geospatial tools and downloadable maps and data sets. Access our tools to explore solar geospatial data for the contiguous United States and several international regions and countries.

Are solar farms a good market for Pile Driving Contractors?

As the demand for renewable energy increases—solar farms are becoming an ideal market for pile driving contractors due to the need for stable, long-lasting foundations that can support large-scale solar installations.

How do I find a Wiki-Solar site plan?

Select a country or region from the pull-down menus above. See China, for example, by pressing this large button > Click on any place-marker and it will display the name and what details of the project are held on the Wiki-Solar Database as described on the right. There will also be a hyperlink to the site plan (if available) as below:

What if the marker does not correspond to my solar production address?

Provide the following information If the marker does not correspond to your solar production address, use an area approach, using the + and - on the map to geographically define your GPS point. O (Opacity) modifies the opacity of the map and the visualization of solar irradiance through a color gradient defined in L (Legend).
