Periodic Inspection Report: Solar Light Towers – West Texas Winter 

December 2024 Light Tower and Security Camera Equipment Inspection 

Executive Summary

Our team conducted routine inspections of our towable light towers and security cameras across the oilfields of West Texas. The inspection covered Midland, Odessa, Monahans, and the Kermit area during short, cold, and cloudy winter days – ideal conditions for evaluating the performance of our portable solar equipment. 

We paid close attention to the light towers with cameras that support the groundbreaking Dune Express project – America’s longest conveyor belt system. 

This report details our findings and confirms the reliability of our solar light towers and security solutions maintaining continuous operation despite the short winter days. 

Location Overview: 

Site 1: Dune Express Laydown Yard 

• The site contains the longest conveyor belt system in the USA
• The 42-mile conveyor runs from Kermit, Texas to New Mexico
• Primary function: Sand delivery to New Mexico oil companies

Equipment Inspection

Systems Deployed: GP28CCTV Solar Light/Security Systems- Where lighting meets security   

This first-of-its-kind system combines solar lighting with surveillance, delivering comprehensive site protection in one mobile unit. Users can easily monitor their site 24/7 through the LTS Connect app, with smart tracking capabilities and 8 weeks of onboard storage. Field-proven across major projects, the GP28CCTV ensures your site stays bright and secure, even in the most remote locations with minimal servicing required.

• Combined GP56 high output solar light tower with Solareye 360-degree camera
• First US-designed combined solar light tower with Starlink-equipped surveillance
• All units found in excellent condition
• Features:
  • Motion detection deterrent lights 
  • 360-degree surveillance with smart tracking
  • Remote monitoring via the LTS Connect app
  • Starlink connectivity (no cellular service required)

  • 0 Fuel Required; 100% Solar 
  • 30 hour battery (assuming no solar) 
  • Mobile Hotspot

Site 2: Mine Access Road

In early 2023, we deployed four light towers for construction sites to address critical safety concerns on a remote mine access road experiencing frequent truck accidents. The installation combined the GP43 and Mine Spec GP125 units, which were strategically placed to illuminate the corners of the road where high-speed traffic posed significant risks. After 18 months of continuous operation, our inspection confirmed flawless performance despite heavy dust exposure and severe weather the units were clean and showed no signs of wear. 

The operational impact has been substantial as well: beyond enhancing road safety, these units eliminated the need for diesel, removing 26,000 gallons of fuel consumption and 324 metric tons of CO2 emissions. With zero maintenance (NO oil changes, No diesel refueling, No troubleshooting and NO staff needed to turn on/off) the reduced requirements of the automatic system are apparent. 

This remote construction site installation demonstrates how our solar solutions deliver both environmental and operational benefits while addressing crucial safety challenges in remote locations.
