Statement of Work For

Solar Light Tower Upgrade Kits

1. BACKGROUND:

The Customs and Border Protection (CBP), United States Border Patrol, Tucson Sector (TCA) currently possesses 35 Solar Light Tower (SLT) model 800 series from Progress Solar Solutions, LLC that do not meet field requirements for continuous operations. Progress Solar Solutions, LLC is an independent company that serves as a sole source for the manufacture of these light towers.

In order to offset the power consumption to charging rate factored against operational periods and mission requirements, the service must consider increasing the charging capability.

This can be achieved by replacing the current SLT 800 units with the SLT 1200 units or upgrading the current units SLT 800 units with SLT 1200 retrofit kits that will allow the same charging capability of the larger unit. In either case the outcome would be using a system that provides the better charging system for continuous all night use for seven nights a week year-round.

The SLT 1200 units currently charge 50% faster than the SLT 800 series supplying a total 6568 watt hours on a 24 volt system. The battery AH has been increased to 840 to 980 amps for the SLT 1200 series capable of providing 160 amps (10 amps per battery) of charging current to its power source.

This has been accomplished with the addition of the four extra 100 watt solar panels allowing the SLT 1200 to produce 1200 watts of solar power for 58.4 volts at 44.5 amps.

TCA has requested that each unit be updated to the SLT 1200 series as a replacement to the SLT 800 series for Tucson’s unique environment.
