Ground-Truthing Excellence: J&B Solar's Pioneering Push-Pull Testing Services

​Testing for foundation selection is the first step in ensuring a cost-effective and reliable large-scale ground-mounted solar installation. At J&B 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. Our in-house fleet means we deploy quickly as required and turn around results to our clients onsite! Experience, quick deployment, nationwide coverage, and data collection make us the most cost-efficient team available.

Foundation Constructability Analysis

This innovative offering addresses the need for site-specific foundation designs by providing a detailed assessment of constructability within geotechnical risk zones. Traditional Pile Load Testing (PLT) often lacks comprehensive insights across entire project sites, leading to costly delays. J&B Solar's new service bridges this gap by offering critical insights into subsurface conditions, proposing alternative strategies to save costs and optimize efficiency. With over a decade of PLT experience and state-of-the-art technology, J&B Solar delivers accurate, reliable results tailored to each project's specific characteristics. This service represents a paradigm shift in solar construction, empowering stakeholders to make informed decisions and navigate site-specific challenges with greater confidence and success.

Precision Surveying Solutions for Solar Projects

At J&B, we excel in navigating the demanding schedules and intricate specifications of solar energy surveying. Our primary objective is to minimize risk at every phase of the project, regardless of its scale. With our commitment to timely communication and delivery, we offer precise solar survey services that ensure the seamless progression of your project. Backed by our team's extensive credentials, licensing, and nationwide experience, we stand ready to support projects across the country.

Innovative Drilling Solutions for Challenging Solar Installations

For solar installations, sturdy support is essential, often achieved through hydraulic pile driving machines to anchor piles securely into the ground. However, certain sites may present soil conditions unsuitable for traditional pile driving methods. In such scenarios, J&B Solar implements alternative approaches, such as drilling, to facilitate pile installation. Utilizing a variety of drill rigs in various sizes and configurations, J&B ensures adaptability to diverse project requirements. The techniques employed, whether drilling or vibratory insertion, are tailored to specific project objectives and site conditions.

This Is How We Do It

Have you ever wondered what the construction of a utility-scale solar project looks like from start to finish? Check out this project constructed by the J&B team in East Orange County.

From OUC:

June 27, 2017, EAST ORANGE COUNTY – Construction crews are putting the finishing touches on what is now the largest combined solar farm in Orange County and one of the most unique in the United States. 37,544 solar panels capable of generating nearly 13 megawatts of energy occupy a total of 24 acres. 

Construction Time 

Drone Flyover

The first site is placed over a coal combustion byproduct landfill at OUC’s Stanton Energy Center in East Orange County. The space which is already devoid of trees is perfect for solar. The
second site stands on a coal plant originally designed three decades ago but never constructed. Both sites will simultaneously produce enough energy to power 2,100 homes
when connected to the electric grid this summer.
