TURCHI · Solar sector
Complete your solar plant in half the time.
TURCHI hydraulic pile drivers install up to 150 piles per day with a single operator. Fifteen-minute setup, zero standing time. The choice of EPC contractors who deliver on time and on budget — from Italy to Romania, Spain to Poland.
The European solar market keeps accelerating.
Whoever drives piles faster wins more contracts.
406 GW
Solar capacity installed across the EU (end of 2025)
A record market demanding fast, efficient, scalable pile driving on every new ground-mount project.
+65 GW
New capacity installed in the EU in 2025
Millions of piles every year. The machine that drives faster wins more contracts.
750 GW
EU-27 target by 2030 (REPowerEU)
The ground-mount segment drives most of this growth. Turchi is already present in every key market.

How a TURCHI pile driver transforms your solar jobsite.
01
Transport & setup
The pile driver arrives on a standard trailer (no special transport). Offload, position and start in under 15 minutes.
02
GPS positioning
Optional GPS guides the operator to the exact coordinates of each pile. Zero positioning errors, no rework.
03
Automatic driving
The 950–1,200 J hammer drives each pile in seconds, even in clay and compact soils. The operator works entirely from the ground.
04
Continuous advance
The machine moves to the next pile via radio remote control. With the pile trolley, resupply is continuous — zero downtime.
Semi-automatic GPS, assisted verticality and remote monitoring are available as options on all models.
The right machine for your plant.

“With the TURCHI 300F we handed over the site three days ahead of schedule. The client awarded us the second lot directly.”
TURCHI vs traditional methods: the numbers.
| Metric | TURCHI 300F | Manual / excavator | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Piles per day | ✓ 150+ | ✗ 80–120 | 4× faster |
| Operators required | ✓ 1 | ✗ 3–4 | 75% fewer people |
| Setup time | ✓ 15 min | ✗ 1–2 h | 8× faster |
| Cost per pile | ✓ €2–4 | ✗ €8–15 | Up to 70% saving |
| Positioning accuracy | ✓ GPS ±5 mm | ✗ Manual ±50 mm | 10× more accurate |
| Max depth | ✓ 6 m | ✗ 3–4 m | More applications covered |
| Time for 1 MW (~500 piles) | ✓ 4–5 days | ✗ 17–25 days | Deliver 4× sooner |
Indicative comparison based on ground-mounted PV on standard soil. Results vary with ground conditions, pile depth and profile type.
