A19: There are some conditions that would limit operation of the MMP. If high winds are encountered (above 60 mph) the solar array should be stowed. The MMP should not be operated in below freezing conditions as the water system components will freeze. If the unit is to be stored in below freezing environments the entire water system must be drained and dried. Operation at latitudes higher than 40º will result in less than optimum collection of solar irradiation.
