Benefits

Why choose the TURCHI 300F for solar

Pile driving speed, site autonomy and Made in Italy quality: three concrete reasons installers and EPCs choose the 300F on utility-scale projects.

  • Solar installers
  • EPC
  • Construction
  • Utility scale

150 piles/day: average with short piles

Productivity assessed on your site

With short piles, 150 piles/day is an indicative average, not a guaranteed minimum or maximum. In optimal conditions 200-300 piles/day are possible; ground, pile height and logistics change the output.

Driving H-piles on a solar job site

0 support vehicles to move it

Zero dead time between one pile and the next

On site the 300F moves on its own tracks, from one pile to the next and from one row to another: no crane or telehandler to hire to reposition it, no vehicle to tow it. Every move you do not wait for is extra piles by the end of the day.

Made in Italy reliability

1973 Manufactured in Italy · Pilastro (PR)

Made in Italy reliability

Since 1973, TURCHI has built pile drivers built to last. Premium components, 24/7 global service. The value of equipment engineered to work for generations.

The 300F is not the cheapest pile driver on the market. It is the one that costs you least per pile driven: more piles a day, one operator, no ground crew.

The machine

Engineered to never stop

The TURCHI 300F is our flagship model for photovoltaic projects. Every detail is designed for maximum field productivity: from the hydraulic system to the load-bearing structure, everything speaks efficiency.

The TURCHI 300F solar pile driver is the most chosen solution by professional solar installers for ground-mounted plants from 1 MW upwards. It can be fitted for H, C, U and Sigma profiles and other profiles with a custom upper guide and lower pile-centring collar. Pile-driving height up to 6 metres depending on configuration; transport must be checked against weight, dimensions and trailer payload. A photovoltaic pile driving machine that pays for itself from the first job.

Configuration

Accessories that make the difference

The TURCHI 300F can be configured with optional accessories that maximise productivity, precision and return on investment.

01 Pre-drilling + Screw piles

Rotation head

Available in lateral (1 motor) or central (2 motors) configuration. Mounts augers and DTH hammers for pre-drilling in hard soils, or drives screw piles directly with the same machine. One machine, two functions.

02 Up to +30% faster

STONEX semi-automatic GPS

Integrated GNSS system with centimetre accuracy that automatically guides the pile driver to the exact project coordinates. Zero piles off-position, reduced errors and up to 30% faster positioning.

03 Precision on any terrain

Automatic verticality

Digital inclinometer and automatic hydraulic correction system that keeps the column perfectly vertical even on sloped ground. Every pile is plumb without manual adjustment.

04 Pre-drilling

Hydraulic core drill

Pre-drilling attachment for hard and rocky soils. Reduces stress on the pile and speeds up driving. Available in two field configurations.

  • 4-hole
  • Single

05 Operator safety

Radio remote control

Wireless machine operation. The operator controls movements from a safe distance while keeping direct sight of the driving point. Available in two configurations.

  • Full
  • Tracks only

06 2 motors

Head rotation · central (2 motors)

Driving head with central-axis rotation powered by two opposed hydraulic motors. More torque and symmetric positioning relative to the column — suited to larger section piles and sites demanding high angular precision.

07 Rocky soils

DTH · down-the-hole hammer

Pre-drilling in rocky or hard soils using a down-the-hole hammer mounted in line with the column. Overcomes compact layers while keeping the pile vertical, without repositioning the machine.

08 End-of-life sites

Mechanical extractor

Fast pile extraction for repositioning or dismantling the plant. Mechanical pile coupling, controlled lift in line with the column. Ideal at PV site end-of-life for full structure recovery — without third-party equipment.

09 24/7 site work

Lighting kit

High-brightness LED work light on the column, aimed at the driving zone. Work in low light — dawn, dusk, tunnels, covered sites — without external light towers. Powered directly from the machine electrical system.

Case study

~1,850 piles in 12 working days. Two operators. Zero machine stops.

From the site

“With the TURCHI 300F we handed over the site three days ahead of schedule. The client awarded us the second lot directly.”

Voghera (PV) site — the machine is delivered between the rows of driven piles

“With the Turchi 300F we drove 4,000 piles in 23 days, with a single operator.”

Giovanni Corrado — 6 MW solar plant · Voghera (Pavia) · Italy

“We replaced two traditional pile drivers with a single TURCHI 300F on a 2 MW plant in Veneto. Now we do twice the piles with half the staff. ROI came in under 8 months.”

Marco R. — Operations Director · Solar EPC · Veneto, Italy

“The speed of the TURCHI 300F helped us win more tenders. On our last 3 MW project we completed in 12 days what used to take a month.”

Stefan D. — CEO · GreenField Energy · Timișoara, Romania

“Impeccable service. A spare part arrived in 36 hours from request, right on our job site in Bavaria. With other suppliers we waited weeks.”

Andreas K. — Technical Manager · SolarBau GmbH · Bavaria, Germany

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

On a solar site with short piles, 150 piles per day with the TURCHI 300F is an indicative average, not a guaranteed minimum or maximum. In optimal conditions 200-300 piles per day can be reached; with long piles, difficult ground or slow handling the output falls. For 1 MW, 350-450 piles are usual, but a two-pile structure may need many more: days can only be estimated after seeing the project, ground, pile height and available crew.

Yes. The 300F can carry the STONEX semi-automatic GPS with centimetre accuracy, which guides the machine onto the design coordinates and speeds positioning up by as much as 30%.

THE COST OF WAITING

Every month without the 300F on site:

  • ~3,000

    piles not installed

    Example: indicative average of 150 short piles/day × 20 days, not a guarantee

  • 350-450

    piles/MW is usual: lost MW are estimated on the project

    About 1000 piles/MW on a two-pile project

  • tenders won by those who deliver first

Our customers report ROI in under 8 months. The biggest cost isn't the machine — it's every month spent without one.
