Sid Sidebotham, Noble’s Global Head of Sales, announced on April 27, 2022, that Federal Resources, a Noble company, has been awarded a $70M, 5-year contract to provide Solar Stik portable power equipment to customers under the Heavy Equipment Procurement Program administered by DLA Troop Support Construction & Equipment. The Heavy Equipment Procurement Program (HEPP) facilitates purchases of a variety of heavy equipment commercially available through many major suppliers. The equipment provided under this program includes construction equipment, agricultural equipment, cranes, trucks, trailers, sweepers, scrubbers, firefighting, rescue vehicles, and other equipment.
Left: No assembly is required for the Solar Expedition 570W. The transport case for the 570-watt photovoltaic (PV) array uses a case-integrated racking system, allowing panels to be deployed by one person in seconds. The portable PV array can be scaled quickly by connecting multiple arrays to meet power generation requirements. Its molded, compact case is designed for stacking multiple cases for transport.
Right: The Wind Stik is designed for applications requiring portable wind power generation. If there is wind, the Wind Stik will produce power, day and night.
