Does the NEC require ground rods to be driven at and connected to exterior lighting poles?

It is an SDS and will require a grounding electrode system.So the question is not if a light pole needs a ground rod.
The question is does a solar panel, inverter and fixture mounted on a pole require a grounding electrode system?

It is an SDS and will require a grounding electrode system.
It is an electrical source and has no direct circuit conductor connections to another electrical source. How is it not an SDS?Where in the nec does it say the sun is an SDS? Is each fixture a service? I have been asked to quote the code on this situation. I know the definition of an SDS in the code. Each fixture is solar powered. I believe no god rod is required.
Separately Derived System. An electrical source, other than a service, having no direct connection(s) to circuit conductors of any other electrical source other than those established by grounding and bonding connections.

I working from 2008 NEC so I am not sure what the 2011 and 2014 would require

Your computer was not installed and the code does not apply to it.My computer is an SDS but still does not require a GES.
We need more info about the product the OP is using.

Nor is a car, nor an airplane....iwire your computer is not a structure
