We at SLP pride ourselves on our in-house testing facilities. One of which is our Test Farm. It is located outside behind our plant in St. Louis and runs 24/7/365

The idea for the Test Farm originated back in 2004 to test the Citadel 2 against our competitors. Citadels are built to withstand the elements to the extreme; and what better way to prove that than by testing them against the real elements.

Now, in case you didn’t know, St. Louis is a place where you will wear flip flops and snow boots in the same week…sometimes in the same day. So, it is safe to say our components are put to the test against everything: sweltering heat, bone-chilling cold, winds, rain, ice, snow, sleet, hail and everything in between.

Watch the time lapse video below. It was captured over a three-day winter storm that hit the area. Note how our components go strong despite the cold, snow and ice!

Please note that our engineering team has the units wired to rotate power on and off throughout the day and night.
