Engineered tracker foundations
Request a QuoteBetter projects start with better foundations
A well-engineered foundation is the backbone of every utility-scale solar project. Ampacity brings hard-won field expertise, exclusive foundation design software, and a stocked inventory of tracker-ready steel piles to every customer, so we can move fast without cutting corners.
We’re not just supplying materials. We’re constantly evaluating and refining structural solutions that improve your project economics—from the ground up.
Smart design tools that drive down project costs
Ampacity combines precise drone-collected site topography data with our exclusive foundation design software to do something most suppliers can't: give you a slope-adjusted pile point plan before a single post hits the ground. The result is lower civil costs, greater pile-driving accuracy, and fewer costly surprises during construction.
We know better data leads to better outcomes, so we do the prep work to bring as much certainty as possible to your projects.
Optimized foundation design
Tracker engineering and foundation design are performed entirely in-house. That matters because our team is intimately familiar with each tracker system's structural strengths and load characteristics—and we leverage that knowledge to produce the most efficient foundation design for your specific site. Design calculations are signed and sealed for the state your project is located in, and we support designs through the full review process with the owner's engineer or AHJ as needed.
Quick turnaround
Our team has been there and done that—and we rarely encounter a problem we haven't solved before. We develop foundation designs quickly and accurately, and when things change mid-project—module specs, site boundaries, layout revisions—our nimble team pivots fast without holding up your schedule. Change is part of this industry. We're built for it.
Accurate proposals & estimates
Our pile foundation estimates are not based on some generic, one-size-fits-all approximation of possible designs. Our estimates are essentially final designs based on site-specific soil conditions and actual project loads. What you see in the estimate is what you get in the final design. No surprises. And if your site presents challenging soil conditions that could affect foundation installation, we tell you upfront so you can plan accordingly—not as a courtesy, but as your trusted partner.
Post-design support
Even the best-engineered plans can hit a snag in the field. Our team stays engaged throughout the installation process, available to address unforeseen issues and develop workable solutions that get your project back on track without losing momentum.
