Co-design custom pile-to-frame brackets for your racking. Helical piles work where rammed C-profile posts fail: soft peat, organic soils, fill ground and frost-affected sites.
Spring 2026 surfaced foundation failures across Nordic solar parks. When the foundation moves with the seasons, the bracket calibration moves with it — and the warranty conversation lands on you, not on the foundation supplier. Helicasol anchors the helix plate below the frost line in stable ground, sized site-by-site to actual soil and co-designed with your bracket geometry. The racking stays where it was commissioned, freeze cycle after freeze cycle.
Peat, organic soils and high water tables defeat the standard rammed C-profile post: friction-dependent designs can't find purchase. Sites pass the desk study, then fail in EPC bidding. Helical piles draw resistance from helix bearing and shaft friction together, sized pile-by-pile to the actual ground. Sites your racking would otherwise lose become winnable.
Soft peat, post-forestry brownfield, frost-affected ground — sites your racking system can't sell into because the standard pile won't hold.
Your racking is engineered for one set of foundation interfaces. Helical piles need a custom bracket — an engineering loop most makers skip.
The bracket is sized against your tracker or fixed-tilt geometry, with the load path verified end-to-end. The developer gets a buildable site, your racking gets the order.
Bracket engineered to your racking geometry, not a generic adapter.
You send the racking drawings and per-post loads. NDA signed first. Same input list whether it's fixed-tilt or tracker.
We design the bracket for your racking and the soil that's actually on site. Structural calc and CAD come back for your review. You sign off, we move to manufacturing.
Brackets and piles built on the same EN 1090 Exc2 line in Finland. One supplier, one paper trail. Ships to your EPC or straight to the developer.
Same engineering, two ways to structure the deal. We accommodate whichever fits your sales channel and your relationship with the end EPC.
You include our piles in your foundation offer to the EPC. Same sales channel as your existing rammed-C profile bid — just helical instead, on the sites your standard product can't carry. Your contract, your relationship, your margin structure.
We sell piles and install direct to the EPC. You sell the racking direct to the EPC. We coordinate technical compatibility behind the scenes during design — bracket geometry, load schedule, install sequence. Your sales channel stays clean, no foundation scope on your books.
Being qualified to design for peat and soft clay isn't enough — you also need to physically get the equipment onto it. We do.
Position recorded per pile to centimetre accuracy. Lands in the as-built record alongside torque verification — no "approximately where it was meant to go."
Ground-pressure-rated kit that drives on ground that would bog a wheeled crew. 71,000 piles at Hallanvahti across 200+ ha of peat — without rebuilding the access tracks every week.
Bracket and pile built on the same EN 1090 Exc2 line in Finland. One paper trail, one delivery schedule, one party answering when something is wrong on site.
Four questions we hear from mounting system manufacturers before the first NDA call. Commercial specifics — IP structure, minimums, exclusivity — are case-by-case; we'll walk through the options on the first call.
You shouldn't if your existing bracket works on every soil your sales team is chasing. Co-design pays off where your bracket forces a foundation type that doesn't suit the ground — typically soft peat, organic soils, fill ground and frost-affected sites. There the rammed C-profile fails or needs excessive density, and a helical pile with the right bracket interface opens the site up.
In practice: a bracket that takes both ramming and helical lets you bid sites your competitors can't.
That's a commercial discussion, not a default. We've used several structures depending on what fits the deal — your IP with us as a preferred supplier, joint ownership, or our IP licensed to you for your racking. We'll talk through the options on the first call, after NDA.
Depends on the IP structure agreed up front. We're flexible. What we'd typically ask in any structure: that the bracket geometry, load assumptions and quality spec stay matched between your racking and a pile that has been qualified with it. That protects you and the end customer — not just us.
Not a fixed number. We tool and set up for the first project you have a real chance of winning, not on a forecast. For ongoing supply, the production line is set up on the back of a confirmed project — that keeps your unit cost honest and avoids a stockholding problem before you have demand.
