FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Is the Nomad 28 Plus waterproof?
A: Yes. We've gone to great lengths to ruggedize the Nomad 28 Plus; including beefing up
the manufacturing process with advanced lamination techniques so it'll slough off rain
and snow. However, if the junction box gets soaking wet, we recommend letting it dry out
before plugging in.
Q: Does the Nomad 28 Plus have a built-in battery?
A: Nope. We made the Nomad 28 to be as modular and lightweight as possible that meant
selling batteries as an optional accessory. You can either plug your phone or device
directly into the Nomad 28 Plus, or pair it with one of our rechargers to store power for
later (like at night or when you go inside). May we recommend a Sherpa Power Pack or
Goal Zero Yeti Portable Power Station?
Q: Is this chainable with other Nomad panels?
A: Yes, but only on some Goal Zero Nomad Solar Panels. You can plug the Charge Cable
into the chaining ports on Nomad and Nomad Plus Solar Panels. The Nomad 28 Plus
cannot be chained with the Nomad 7 Plus or the Nomad 7 Solar Panels.
Q: How does the Solar Intensity Indicator work?
A: Science. We can't give away all our secrets. For real though, our engineers developed
patent-pending electronic brains for the Nomad 28 Plus that ensures you have the best
solar charging experience possible. Part of the electronics include an advanced current
sensor (way better than a voltmeter) and unique maximum power point tracking (MPPT)
charge controller to optimize the USB output. What you need to know is when conditions
are right, you can plug a phone into the Nomad 28 Plus and charge it directly from the
sun. You'll know the conditions are right by checking out the Solar Intensity Indicator.
