Super helpful to a neophyte like me! Our operator. Brady, called us several hours in advance to advise us of his schedule, and continued to update his timeline. Brady was professional, courteous, and very knowledgable about the job. James was great to schedule and communicate with too. Great company, and we are already spreading the message!

Great service! Had Solar Pile Driver install 44 piles for us in Wisconsin for a solar project, and very happy with the final result! Beats concrete footings for sure on ease of installation and labor time. Thanks!

The team at SPD have been fantastic partners of Seal Solar. They work tirelessly to get the job done and they will bend over backwards to accommodate our needs. You find a sub-contractor who gets it done right, you never want to let them go. SPD is one of them!

The owner (James) was friendly, very responsive to emails and accommodating with my swing shift work schedule. The installer, Jonathon, was also friendly, did a great job, and was willing to take the time to explain each step. This company is filling a void in the market for smaller installations like mine that other companies would not consider. Overall, I give them an outstanding review and would not hesitate to recommend them to others looking for solar pile driving services. By using their company, I was able to get a 31,500 watt ground mount racking system in the ground in about 2 hours, compared

We have had the absolute best experience with them and they have been fair and flexible with us on several projects. Their pricing is reasonable, they work with us on scheduling and they maintain high levels of excellence in the field.
Professional, experienced, courteous company that I would recommend for any solar project or post driven project.
