been asked by a client to clean their solar panels. does anyone do this, and if so how much do you charge? also do you have a minimum fee for it as they are one off jobs (or at best 6 monthly)?
-
Been thinking the same myself and would probably be £6 per pannel with a min of 4 pannels.
From what i have read is that solar pannels should be cleaned in March / April then again in July / August to get the best out of them.
-
i was thinking more along the lines of £10 per panel, minimum £79.95! unless its a client and you're on the property already i don't figure its worth doing anything for less than £60. also if these things are damaged when you're cleaning they're thousands of pounds to replace.

It's gonna be a big market this lads in a few years.
Got a mate who is a manager at a warehouse and they're having them fitted, 400k worth. All aligned so cleaning can be done. Will have to keep in his good books in a couple of years. :D

Would this kind of clean be clean be covered under usual insurance?? Or would I need to upgrade?
I've been asked by customer for a once-a-year clean

probably need to up your insurance i reckon... worth asking your insurer
-
need to inform your insurer
-
Thought so... Already told customer I won't touch them yet as not sure.
Suppose I need to decide wether to push this service to justify increase in premium?
-
is there a risk we can damage the panels with brushes we use,as any one got experience cleaning panels
-
hey bob,
yes there is a risk of damaging the panels if the wrong brush head is used, also a risk if water temp too hi, or too low in hot weather! apparently they're very delicate. that's whny you need to charge properly for this if you do it.
-
Are there any solar panel 'experts' on here then? I'm looking to add this service and would like to know exactly how to go about it, without learning from a costly mistake! What size poles and adapters are used as some look very tricky to get to
-
Hi Rhine!
I'm also. Ery interested in this for the next few years.
-
Probably the best thing to do is to contact a solar panel maker/supplier and get the info from them
