    Hi Shaun,

    In your design you should assume that the unit will need it’s own power; whether this is drawn from a solar array, a turbine, a diesel gen etc – this is your decision to make, considering whether this is an appropriate solution given the context.

    As a power source could be integral to the washdown station, I would consider if adding a solar array to your design could aid the end solution?

    Hope this helps,

    Luke
