Nice pics Daz :)

I have my first solar panel jobs booked in for the end of the week wasn't really sure how much too charge but decided on £2 per panel....I have 12 on one house to do and 12 on the neighbours and another 10 on a bungalow which should be nice and easy ;D

Nice one Dazmond! Good pics too. My favourite pic so far from all the jobs we've
 done is here: http://www.solar-panel-cleaners.com/blog/solar-panel-cleaning-completed-largest-solar-array-shropshire/
It's amazing the variety in these jobs! That's what I like about them. ;D

Cheers mate. Most jobs are just jobs. That array was particularly striking, so makes for a good pic and it was fun to do too.

That pic also shows how good the gardiner extreme is, minimal flex at 44'. It cost me over a grand, but has paid for itself already. Lots of other poles at that length would have been dragging on the panels, so would not have suitable for the job.

I'm in the process of sorting out prices etc for one of the most unusual arrays in he UK. Hope I get it, just for the pictures!  Watch this space!  :)

Nice one. Thanks for posting.
I can't help but notice you still don't line up your clamps on the pole. :)

Is it a conscious decision  because of wear issues?

The brain 'sees' repetition, patterns and symmetry. That's why it is pleasing to have clamps in line. :)
