Lighting & Security Solutions for Oil & Gas Operations

• Modern solar-powered LED lamps provide high-output lighting while consuming significantly less energy than diesel models. Ver-Mac light towers ensure an optimal balance between energy consumption and brightness with its in-house LED design and manufacturing. 
• These units do not require refueling or engine maintenance and perform autonomously in all weather, making them ideal for remote sites.

Well-positioned and sufficient lighting helps make hazards visible. In the oil and gas sector, 2,101 work-related injuries were reported between 2015 and 2022*, with the second biggest cause being slips and falls.  

Visibility is one of the factors that can increase safety by helping workers see their surroundings and potential hazards after nightfall. Solar-powered equipment also eliminates the risk of fuel spilling or leaking from the engine.

Ver-Mac’s high-quality units are built for rugged environments and perform in temperatures ranging from 80˚ C to -40˚ C, high winds, and precipitations.    

Thanks to our vertically integrated production, we have engineered heat-resistant lamps and fixtures. Our trailers are among the most robust in the industry, so you get reliable performance when you need it. 

Yes. Ver-Mac units can operate autonomously year-round. See our autonomy performance map per light tower model below. 

While the initial investment may be higher, solar light towers eliminate fuel costs and significantly reduce maintenance expenses, resulting in a lower total cost of ownership over time. 
Cost savings include:  

• Fuel purchase and transportation  
• Engine maintenance (oil changes, filters, etc.)  
• Refueling labor and downtime 

More concretely, fuel and labor cost $1,000–$1,200/month for diesel-powered light towers. Without these costs, solar light towers bring immediate savings and reach a break-even point at 18–24 months. 

They reduce greenhouse gas emissions, eliminate the risk of fuel spills, and lower noise pollution—helping companies meet environmental and sustainability targets. Solar light towers typically save 31.7 tonnes CO₂  per unit/year. 
See more details below.

Yes. Portable solar light towers are trailer-mounted, towable, and compact, making them easy to transport and reposition.

Dust accumulation and shading can reduce solar efficiency, but periodic maintenance and proper placement minimize impact.

Minimal maintenance is needed compared to diesel light towers, which require refueling many times a week and regular engine maintenance. There are steps you can take to make sure your solar light towers are operating at their best. See the article: 8 Tips for Optimal Maintenance for complete details. 

Yes. Ver-Mac light towers can be equipped with a modem, which allows you to:  

• Turn the unit on and off remotely 
• Monitor performance 
• Check your unit’s GPS location 

The surveillance tower provides 24/7 autonomous surveillance for remote oil & gas operations, helping to deter theft, vandalism, and unauthorized access.  

Its 360° PTZ camera with motion detection can automatically track activity and send real-time alerts, allowing teams to respond when needed. 

Yes, it is a fully autonomous, solar-powered solution with rechargeable batteries and cellular connectivity, meaning it requires no external power or wired infrastructure. This makes it ideal for remote drilling sites, and other operations where traditional surveillance systems are difficult or costly to deploy.  

The system is designed for rapid deployment—typically by a single person in minutes— thanks to its trailer-mounted design. This allows oil & gas operators to quickly secure new sites, respond to incidents, or relocate equipment as operations evolve, minimizing downtime and improving operational agility.
