Title: Anyone targetting Solar Panel cleaning?
Post by: AuRavelling79 on August 07, 2011, 04:48:54 pm
Or do you think it needs long poles for infrequent return?

They recommend twice yearly cleans. I am talking to installers in my area about them offering cleaning in with the sale of the panels to their customers.

Yep, I think it would be worth it if it is pitched right. I would be prepared to invest in a mega pole.

For most 2-storie work a 35ft would be enough.  There's some talk of needing an ultra-soft brush, but if the surface of the panel is glass (which it is) then I don't see why our normal brushes should give a problem.

I am off to have a look at a solar farm this week. This seems to be a hot topic at the moment so I figured i'd find out for sure how to clean them.

I will of course pitch them for cleanin when I am there.
