Description
NOMAD 2 — portable solar power & lighting tower
The Green Frog Systems NOMAD 2 portable solar power and lighting tower uses a refillable steel base so ballast does not have to travel between projects. Ship the unit without ballast, place it with a forklift or telehandler and fill the base on site. When the work moves, empty the ballast, retract the mast and load the unit for its next location.
Transport weight is approximately 1,102 lb, depending on battery configuration. The unit ships upright with its panels stowed, with no disassembly and up to 16 units per 40 ft high-cube container.
Solar lighting and off-grid power
A 1 kW solar array rotates independently of the base. Place the unit in the orientation that suits the site, then turn the array to face south. A 10 kWh LiFePO4 battery is housed inside the vandal-resistant base, with a 20 kWh option available.
The KX1000 controller provides full-power lighting with automatic dimming at critical low battery. Constant, timed and adaptive power profiles are available, along with optional Bluetooth control for profiles, dimming and status.
Choose your floodlight package
Standard two-light package
Two 116 W LED floodlights deliver 45,666 lm total with 3000K CCT. Each floodlight aims and rotates independently.
Optional four-light package
Four 116 W LED floodlights deliver 91,000 lm for area lighting from a single tower.
LED outreach option
Single or dual outreach arms up to 9.8 ft per side carry high-output road-optic LED luminaires on the 19.7 ft mast, for intersections and gates. Luminaires are generic, so a specifying agency can fit its own locally approved, DOT-listed fixture with the optics and lens it requires.
Ground-level access
The 19.7 ft telescopic mast raises and lowers with a hand winch. Install, aim, clean and service the lights at ground level without an aerial lift. Batteries and controllers are stored inside the steel base, with optional anti-vandal bolts and supports.
Expandable power platform
NOMAD 2 provides space for additional control equipment and supports applications such as cameras, Wi-Fi, communications and servers. A second unit can be connected to double battery and solar capacity.
Deployment
- Place the unit with a forklift or telehandler.
- Fill the base with site-sourced ballast to the marked level following the supplied ballast instructions.
- Rotate the solar array south and aim the floodlights at ground level.
- Raise the mast with the hand winch.
For relocation, empty the ballast, retract the mast and load the complete unit for transport. A concrete-fill option is available for permanent installations.
Lighting design and site engineering
NOMAD 2 is designed for general area lighting to ANSI/IES RP-8 pedestrian and parking-facility criteria. On construction and work sites, layouts are designed to OSHA 29 CFR 1926.56 minimum illumination levels and ANSI/IES RP-7. Compliance is confirmed by a site-specific photometric design supplied with each proposal.
Wind suitability assessed per job site; engineered ballast schedule and certification documentation supplied with each proposal.
