The lighting systems are able to light the way for night training by the Military. The areas that are illuminated are far from any utility grid connection and the use of generators was not an option due to the cost and flammable danger of having to transport fuel to the area.
Iraq-US Army (Solar Electric Power Sources)- National Solar Technologies has been awarded a contract to provide portable solar power sources to the US Military for remote power requirements to operate satellite up-links and communication equipment. These solar power systems allowed the Military to operate without needing to refuel a conventional generator and also allowed them to operate there missions without the noise of a gas generator.
United States-State of Utah (Solar Powered Lighting)- National Solar Technologies has been awarded a contract to supply solar powered parking lot lighting systems for rest areas in Utah. The rural rest areas don't have a connection source to the power grid so the best alternative was to use NST's solar powered parking lot lighting systems. The systems are spread across a number of rest areas in a rural portion of Utah. These lighting systems are needed for driver safety as well as public security at the rest areas.
Haiti-US Dept. of State (Solar Electric Power Sources)- National Solar Technologies has received multiple contracts to supply solar power systems to the US Dept. of State for use in Haiti at police stations. The systems use solar energy to charge batteries that are connected into a power center that supplies electricity to communications equipment at police stations across Haiti.

United States- US Marine Corps (Solar Powered Lighting)- National Solar Technologies has been awarded a contract to supply its solar powered portable floodlight systems to a Marine Corps Training facility in the US. The portable solar powered floodlights are used in a remote desert training area to illuminate base camps and pathway areas. Savings in generator fuel costs and noise from generators was negated due to the use of NST's portable solar powered floodlights which use clean solar energy and run without any noise generated from the systems.
United States- Federal Highway Administration (Solar Powered Lighting)- National Solar Technologies has been awarded a contract to supply temporary portable solar powered floodlights to a Federal Facility in Washington, DC. The systems are used in parking areas and walkways to illuminate the way for Federal employees in the parking lots. The systems were the best and most cost-effective solution for the facility as permanent lighting was not present and could not be installed due to ongoing construction in the area.
