Solar Light Towers: Powering Through Texas Winters

Solar power performance during winter

The Texas oil field industry operates year-round, and reliable lighting becomes crucial during shorter winter days. Solar light towers are revolutionizing how businesses illuminate their operations, even during the challenging winter months.

Winter Performance That Doesn’t Quit

The numbers speak for themselves. With 56,000 lumens of consistent illumination and proven 100% uptime across more than 500 nights of operation, our solar light towers maintain peak performance regardless of the season. 

In Midland, our units have operated continuously for 20+ months without maintenance – including through two winters.

Beyond Traditional Lighting

Winter brings unique challenges: shorter days, increased energy costs, and harsh operating conditions. Our GP56 solar light towers address this head-on:

  • Zero fuel consumption means no cold-weather start issues
  • Advanced battery systems compensate for reduced daylight hours
  • Maintenance-free operation eliminates winter service calls
  • Instant deployment without electrical infrastructure

Reduce Maintenance and Increase Profits 

When you make the move from diesel-powered light towers to solar-power you will immediately notice the operational demands that your diesel light towers had.

Regular maintenance of diesel units requires regular oil changes and filter replacements every couple of hundred hours, constant fuel monitoring and refilling, engine troubleshooting, and cold weather starting issues. 

These tasks demand a physical presence at the site, coordination of fuel deliveries, and careful documentation of service intervals. When you factor in the average technician wage of $25-35 per hour, combined with lost productivity during maintenance, fuel and parts costs, and administrative overhead, a single diesel light tower can cost your operation $15,000-20,000 annually in direct and indirect maintenance expenses.

So, it should be pretty obvious that if you spend over 1 hour a week or about 200 hours a year servicing something that has 0 return for your operation you’re wasting time and money. 

Real Texas Tough

From the Permian Basin to the Gulf Coast, our solar light towers are proving their worth across diverse industrial applications. Oil and gas operations maintain 24/7 visibility, construction sites stay productive through shorter days, and emergency response teams deploy instant lighting whenever needed.

The Bottom Line

Winter operations demand reliable solutions and our GP56 solar light tower delivered:

  • Consistent 56,000 lumens output
  • Zero maintenance requirements
  • Complete environmental independence
  • Proven cold-weather performance
