Hi Matt A far as I am aware we have had no problems with power supply over the winter months although not being able to constantly monitor them it is always difficult to prove otherwise. The latest generation of solar powered VAS will only use solar energy and not wind. We've got a few of these installations which have caused a problem. As yet still waiting for W*******c to identify the problem so may not necessarily be power related.
