US-based PV Hardware has detailed results from a case study on Terrain Response technology deployed at a solar project in Saudi Arabia’s rocky desert terrain. The case study indicated that the challenging topography had required adaptive planning and reduced reliance on heavy earthworks. Terrain Response was shown to cut earthmoving needs by up to 90 %, reducing dust and erosion across the site. Installation time was reduced by 40 % because ground preparation was limited to targeted adjustments. PV Hardware explained that the system offered 1 degree slope tolerance at most piles and allowed pile lengths to be reduced by up to 0.7 meter. These features lowered ramming depth, material use and installation steps. The method relied on detailed site analysis, engineering adaptation and minimal soil disturbance, supported by trained teams managing real-time adjustments.
