One point of contact for civil, mechanical and electrical works. From the first stake to the energized substation.
01 — SURVEY
GPS RTK, staking out, level checked point by point. Every pile has an address before the steel arrives.
GPS RTK · BASELINE · LAYOUT
02 — PILE DRIVING
Thousands of piles driven at 90,0°. Up to 400 a day per crew, one by one, never losing the row alignment.
VERTICALITY 90,0° · 950 J HAMMER · 400 PILES/DAY
03 — EXCAVATION
Open trenches between the rows, depth checked before backfilling. After that, to check, we dig again.
CONTROLLED TRENCH · CHECKED LEVEL
04 — CABLE DUCTS
A single backbone can carry twelve kilometres of cable. A detour made for convenience is paid for over twenty years.
MT BACKBONE · SAND BED · WARNING TAPE
05 — CABLE LAYING
Reels, pulls, joints. The cable goes into the trench already tagged and already tested: nothing is improvised on site.
TRENCH LAYING · TAGGING · INSULATION TESTS
06 — LOGISTICS
Rails, modules and bolts distributed along the rows. The perfect grid is not order: it is time no one wastes.
~2.700 RAILS · ROW DISTRIBUTION
07 — STRUCTURES
Beams, purlins, clamps. Sixty people assembling the same geometry two kilometres apart.
TILT 25° · TORQUE TIGHTENING · ROW TOLERANCE
08 — MODULES
Each module weighs thirty-five kilos and must be placed, aligned and clamped without ever touching the glass with a hand.
650 Wp MODULES · PAIRS INSTALLATION · VISUAL CHECK
09 — DC WIRING
Strings, connectors, ties. A bad connection is not visible on day one: it shows up in the third winter.
DC CONNECTIONS · STRING MEASUREMENT · THERMOGRAPHY
10 — SUBSTATIONS AND INVERTERS
Inverters, switchboards, MT/BT substations, commissioning tests. The field stops being a construction site and becomes a plant.
MT/BT SUBSTATIONS · SCADA · COMMISSIONING
11 — DELIVERED
Thirty years of production without anyone having to come back. The best work is the one you no longer see.
READY TO PRODUCE · 30 YEARS OF USEFUL LIFE · FGM SOLAR
WHAT WE DO
Pile driving, mounting structures and installing modules. The core of our work, and the part you can see.
Site preparation, internal haul roads, cable trenching. What matters most will never be seen again.
DC and AC cabling, inverter connection, MV/LV stations through to energisation.
We do not use stock photos. Every image on this site was taken on one of our sites, by the people working there.
Every dot is one of our sites, sized by installed capacity. Hover a dot to read its name; the full reference list runs to ninety-five plants.
Coordinates are those of the locality, not of the plant centre. The map shows sites with a full project page.
We work as specialist subcontractor for the EPCs and developers behind Europe's largest parks. Every name can be checked on the project page, against the client's own source.
Seventy-four megawatts in the north of the Netherlands, photographed by drone every month. Drag to move through the build.
