Solar piles are engineered steel foundation elements that provide structural support for utility-scale solar panel installations. . Steel beams are a popular choice for bearing piles for bridges, buildings, stadiums, and industrial structures. The same properties that make them suitable for large structures also make them useful for some of the most lightly loaded, yet extensive structures currently being built, such as solar. . However, traditional equal cross-section photovoltaic bracket pile foundations require improvements to adapt to the unique challenges of these environments. This paper introduces a new type of photovoltaic bracket pile foundation named the “serpentine pile foundation” based on the principle of. . The PHC (pre-stressed high-strength concrete) pile foundation, serving as an innovative supporting structure for solar power stations, is subjected to complex loading conditions in engineering scenarios. The first three are cast-in situ p sidering deformation and bearing capacity.
