Description

NOMAD 4 — solar street-lighting tower

The Green Frog Systems NOMAD 4 solar street-lighting tower provides re-deployable road lighting for road construction, mining and civil infrastructure. One or two high-output road-optic LED luminaires mount at 11.5 m, with drive power adjusted to suit the lighting design.

NOMAD 4 is designed to meet full AS/NZS 1158 road lighting — Category P and Category V, categories 1–5. Lighting designs and site-specific performance reports are provided with proposals.

A 1 kW solar array on a rotating T-piece mount charges a 10 kWh LiFePO4 battery. The KX1000 smart controller provides automatic power scaling, while satellite connectivity enables remote monitoring and control where mobile coverage is unavailable. An optional second 10 kWh battery supports cameras, sensors, telemetry and other site devices.

The base is forked into position and filled with locally sourced ballast to the engineered schedule. Erecting the pole requires a crane or lifting device at each installation. With no concrete footings or grid connection, the tower can move as traffic staging and project requirements change.

Single arm or twin

NOMAD 4-1000-A — single arm

One 150 W high-output road-optic LED luminaire on a 4.0 m single arm, with an 11.5 m mounting height. Zero-sun reserve is engineered per site.

NOMAD 4-1000-B — dual arm

Two 150 W high-output road-optic LED luminaires, delivering 300 W total, on two 3.0 m arms with a 6.0 m tip-to-tip span. The mounting height is 11.5 m. Zero-sun reserve is engineered per site.

Both configurations offer road optics and 3000K or 4000K CCT, with drive power adjusted to suit the site lighting design.

Zero-sun reserve is engineered per site, and site-specific figures are provided with every proposal.

Moves with the project

NOMAD 4 suits staged road construction, detours, carriageway switches and haul-road intersections. On redeployment, empty the ballast and return it to site as clean fill, lower the pole with a crane or lifting device, and fork the base onto transport. Re-ballast and re-erect the tower at its next location to the site-specific engineered schedule.

Deployment

  1. Fork the base into position.
  2. Fill with locally sourced ballast to the prescribed density and marked fill level, following the engineered ballast schedule.
  3. Rotate the solar array to face north.
  4. Erect the pole to its 11.5 m mounting height with a crane or lifting device and aim the luminaires to the lighting design.

Applications

  • Road construction work zones and detours
  • Staged carriageway switches
  • Haul-road intersections
  • Mining camps and ROM areas
  • Ports and rail corridors
  • Utilities and civil infrastructure
  • Remote sites without mobile coverage

Specified for your site

Every NOMAD 4 proposal includes a site-specific performance report, checked against the worst month of solar data for the deployment location. GFS specifies the lighting category, wind region and solar performance for the project and provides the results in writing.

Solar performance figures are engineering estimates from long-term climatological averages and are not a guarantee of energy yield; a site-specific verified performance report is provided with every proposal.

Key Features

Road-lighting design. Designed to meet full AS/NZS 1158 road lighting — Category P and Category V, categories 1–5. High-output road-optic LED luminaires mount at 11.5 m, with drive power adjusted to the site lighting design.

Single- or dual-arm configuration. NOMAD 4-1000-A carries one 150 W luminaire on a 4.0 m arm. NOMAD 4-1000-B carries two 150 W luminaires, delivering 300 W total, on two 3.0 m arms, with a 6.0 m tip-to-tip span.

Moves with the project. Forklift pockets allow the base to be placed and relocated as traffic staging changes. Pole erection and lowering require a crane or lifting device.

No concrete footings. Fill the base with locally sourced sand, aggregate or ore-based fill to the engineered ballast schedule. On redeployment, ballast is returned to site as clean fill, leaving no footing to demolish.

1 kW rotating solar array. Two 500 W panels sit on a rotating T-piece mount so the array can be oriented after base placement.

10 kWh battery storage. A 10 kWh LiFePO4 battery comes standard. An optional second 10 kWh battery supports cameras, sensors, telemetry and other site devices.

KX1000 smart controller. Automatic power scaling helps protect the battery during extended overcast conditions.

Satellite connectivity. Remote monitoring and control without mobile coverage. View fleet status, battery state and lighting schedules from the office.

Site-specific power plan. Every proposal includes a performance report checked against the deployment site’s worst month of solar data.

No fuel or refuelling visits. Silent solar operation with no grid connection.

Engineered structure. Hot-dip galvanised steel, designed to AS/NZS 1170.2 with wind region and terrain category addressed in the engineered ballast schedule supplied per job site.

Structural warranty. 10 years, per GFS T&Cs.

FAQ

Which NOMAD do I need?

Pick by the job. NOMAD 1 is general lighting for paths, camps and site access. NOMAD 2 is large-area lighting for laydowns, car parks, storage yards, security and disaster response. NOMAD 4 is temporary road lighting for roadworks and dangerous intersections. Not sure? Send us your site and we’ll recommend one, with a free site performance report.

Is the NOMAD 4 compliant for road lighting?

NOMAD 4 is designed to meet full AS/NZS 1158 road lighting — Category P and Category V, categories 1–5. Its high-output road-optic LED luminaires mount at 11.5 m, with drive power adjusted to suit the lighting design for your site. Lighting designs and site-specific performance reports are provided with proposals.

What is the difference between the single- and dual-arm models?

NOMAD 4-1000-A has one 150 W luminaire on a 4.0 m single arm. NOMAD 4-1000-B has two 150 W luminaires, delivering 300 W total, on two 3.0 m arms with a 6.0 m tip-to-tip span. Both configurations have an 11.5 m luminaire mounting height.

How long does the NOMAD 4 run without sun?

Zero-sun reserve is engineered per site for both NOMAD 4-1000-A and NOMAD 4-1000-B. Your site’s figures are assessed against 20 years of NASA solar data and supplied in writing. Solar performance figures are engineering estimates from long-term climatological averages and are not a guarantee of energy yield; a site-specific verified performance report is provided with every proposal.

Does the NOMAD 4 need a crane?

The base is placed by forklift, but erecting the pole to its 11.5 m mounting height requires a crane or lifting device at each installation.

How do you move a NOMAD 4 between work zones?

Empty the ballast and return it to site as clean fill, lower the pole with a crane or lifting device, and fork the base out. The tower is re-ballasted and re-erected at the next location to the site-specific engineered schedule, with no concrete footing to demolish.

Can I monitor a fleet of NOMAD 4 towers remotely?

Yes. Satellite connectivity provides remote monitoring and control without mobile coverage. View fleet status, battery state and lighting schedules from the office.

Can the NOMAD 4 power other site equipment?

An optional second 10 kWh battery supports cameras, sensors, telemetry and other site devices from the same tower. GFS specifies the configuration for the site’s requirements.
