Goal Zero has built charging infrastructure for US military expeditions, Antarctic scientific stations, and commercial operations. The Nomad 100 is their portable foldable panel — 100W maximum output, USB-C PD up to 60W, and compatible with Goal Zero Yeti power stations as well as any solar-compatible portable power station (Jackery, EcoFlow, Bluetti).

100W Output

100W peak means in direct overhead sun with no cloud cover, you're generating 100W. In the real world — angle, partial cloud, dirty panels — expect 60-80W effective. Two Nomad 100s (200W input) fully charge a 1,000Wh power station in approximately 5-6 hours of good sun. One panel takes 9-12 hours. Plan accordingly.
