​Testing for foundation selection is the first step in ensuring a cost-effective and reliable large-scale ground-mounted solar installation. At B&W Solar we own our own equipment, scales, and meters to test soil conditions with dedicated proprietary crews that travel nationwide. Testing avoids the costly and time-consuming effects a weak foundation has on utility-scale projects. We conduct hundreds of these tests annually for engineering firms, developers, and manufacturers… Show more
