Anything from 50p per panel to £5 and everything inbetween.
If you're happy at a quid, do it.
If you want a fiver, charge it.
They will or they won't.

How long will it take to clean 10 panels . . . . 10 minutes ?    Distance is the major factor for pricing imho, if you can get them as a wc customer then it is an add on, and can offer a special deal  ;D

the average houses have 10 solar panels i charge 3 times a year every 4 months £20 to £30  depending on the situation do not under cut yourself who else is going to clean them other than another wfp cleaner any cheaper try for £2 a panel or near that price  or tie  them in with regular window cleaning combining both then you can drop to at leat £1 a solar panel no less

remember if the solar panels are on the roof of a 2 storey house your gonna need a 40ft pole .i use a SUPERMAX 40 with carbon gooseneck and extreme brush.

they are good add on jobs if you already clean their windows or they are near your window cleaning work.they dont take long.i charge roughly £2-£3 a panel.

Distance is a factor, but also it depends how easy it is to reach and clean the solar panels aswell.
Obviously if it's a bungalow they should be easy to reach, a house will require a longer pole, some will be set back further on the roof, it might be a 3 storey property etc. etc.
I wouldn't quote it without first seeing the job.
