Solar Farm Installation
Our post hole diggers and double diggers are the preferred choice for solar farm contractors across India. Dig foundation holes quickly and accurately for ground-mounted solar panel systems of any scale.
Industrial
The Challenge
Solar farm installation requires digging thousands of foundation holes for mounting structures. Manual digging is slow, inconsistent, and expensive. Traditional methods can take weeks for a medium-sized solar farm, delaying project completion and increasing labor costs. Tight project timelines under government schemes add pressure.
The Solution
MMS Post Hole Diggers and Double Diggers provide rapid, precise hole digging for solar installations. With productivity of 30-100 holes per hour, complete foundation work in days instead of weeks. The Double Digger doubles productivity for large utility-scale projects. Consistent hole dimensions ensure proper mounting structure installation and long-term stability.
Key Benefits
10x Faster Installation
Complete foundation work in days instead of weeks with mechanized digging.
70% Labor Cost Reduction
Replace 10-15 manual laborers with one tractor operator. Significant savings on large projects.
Consistent Hole Quality
Uniform hole dimensions ensure proper mounting structure installation and long-term panel stability.
Higher Project Margins
Faster completion and lower costs mean better profitability for EPC contractors.
Step-by-Step Process
Work easily with our equipment
1
Site Survey & Marking
Mark hole positions according to your solar panel layout and mounting structure specifications. Verify ground conditions.
2
Equipment Setup
Attach post hole digger (single or double) to tractor. Select appropriate auger size (typically 12" or 18" for solar). Calibrate depth settings.
3
Digging Foundation Holes
Position auger at marked spots and dig to required depth (typically 3-4 feet). Double digger can dig two holes simultaneously for faster progress.
4
Quality Check
Verify hole dimensions, depth, and alignment. Clean any loose soil from holes before installing mounting structures.
5
Structure Installation
Install foundation poles or piles, pour concrete if required, and proceed with mounting structure assembly as per design.

Frequently Asked Questions
What auger size is best for solar farm installation?
For most solar installations, 12" augers are ideal for standard mounting structures. For larger structures or softer soil requiring wider foundations, 18" augers are recommended. We can advise based on your specific project requirements.
Should I use single digger or double digger for solar projects?
For projects over 500 kW, the Double Digger is highly recommended as it doubles productivity. For smaller projects, rooftop installations, or uneven terrain, the standard Post Hole Digger offers more maneuverability.
Is this suitable for PM-KUSUM projects?
Yes, our equipment is widely used by contractors working on PM-KUSUM Component A (decentralized ground-mounted solar plants) and Component C (solarization of agricultural pumps). The productivity helps meet tight KUSUM deadlines.
Can the equipment work in rocky terrain common in solar sites?
Yes, our equipment with tungsten carbide auger teeth can handle moderately rocky soil. For very rocky conditions, we recommend our rock augers with reinforced teeth. Many solar sites in Rajasthan and Gujarat use our equipment successfully.
What tractor HP is needed for solar farm work?
For single digger with 12" auger, 35-45 HP is sufficient. For double digger or larger augers (18"), 55-75 HP tractors are recommended. Most solar EPC contractors use 45-50 HP tractors which work well with our equipment.
