Description
Solar fields often require hundreds or thousands of foundation points to be installed efficiently and consistently. The SS Lite gives solar installers a compact, maneuverable drilling solution that pairs with a standard or high-flow skid steer, allowing crews to move quickly from one installation point to the next without the footprint of a larger dedicated drilling rig.
Its high-torque rotary head is ideal for installing 3-inch ground screws and other rotary-installed solar foundation systems. Simple, user-friendly controls help keep operation straightforward, while a two-person operating setup and included stabilizing kickstands support an efficient workflow throughout the solar field.

A Skid Steer Drill Built for Solar Fields
For solar contractors looking to increase productivity without adding a large dedicated drill rig to the jobsite, the WORD SS Lite provides a practical solution. Its skid steer-mounted design combines mobility, high-torque installation capability, and simplified operation in a package developed specifically around the demands of solar construction.
Whether installing ground screws, helical piles, or other rotary solar foundations, the SS Lite helps crews move efficiently across large solar arrays while using equipment they may already have on site.
The result is a purpose-built solar foundation drilling and installation attachment designed to help contractors simplify mobilization, maximize skid steer versatility, and keep solar projects moving.
Solar Drill FAQs
What type of drill is used to install ground screws for solar projects?
A skid steer-mounted drill with a high-torque rotary head can be used to install ground screws for solar foundation systems. The WORD Rock Drills SS Lite is designed specifically for this type of application and is ideal for installing 3-inch ground screws efficiently across solar fields.
Can the WORD SS Lite operate on a standard-flow skid steer?
Yes. The WORD SS Lite can operate on either a standard-flow or high-flow skid steer, giving solar contractors greater flexibility to use equipment already available on the jobsite.
Why use a skid steer-mounted drill for solar foundation installation?
A skid steer-mounted drill provides a compact, maneuverable, and efficient solution for solar foundation installation. Because solar fields can require hundreds or thousands of foundation points, the SS Lite allows crews to move quickly between installation locations while using a versatile carrier that is well suited for navigating large solar sites.
