Just wondering if anyone is going on Tuesday. I'll be there if anyone wants to meet up for a drink. :)
-
What's it all about ?? Never been.
-
It's ways to stop using fossil fuels.
And massively subsidise ways of producing electricity that don't actually work anywhere near as well as alternatives but haven't lobbied the right politicians to get the right pockets lined.
(Steve-not a dig at you)

This event focuses on the renewables market as a whole. It looks at current trends and how the industry leaders see the UK market for the future.
There are talks on the PV market, which is why I'm going. Some big players will be there so hopefully I can drop some info to them about us. Also I can catch up with current clients and arrange meetings etc to decide how we will move forward with the increasing demand.
It's not important for the majority on here, but thought one or two would be interested and be attending. :)

I was planning to go, but then remembered I had some paint I have to watch drying !

Quality answer sansom,
very constructive

you are not funny mate!

Usual thing on this forum these days Ben.
Someone posts a normal question, and then someone like Samson comes along with a pathetic comment like that.
Don't worry, he bought a scarf lastweek from Topman, but he has decided to take it back because its too tight ;)

I have a tub of pins I need to stick into my own eyes on that day!! ;D
There is however a pins & needles exhibition in our local village hall on Thursday night where I'll be popping along to arrange a few meetings & catch up with the industry big boys. If anyone else's going, give us a shout & we'll meet up for a smoothie! ;)
-
Don't know why I bother... ???
-
Maybe on the wrong forum possibly? Can't see many windowcleaners attending a meeting about energy somehow.
I have a meeting with a glass manufacturer tomorrow anyone coming?
I'm taking my business up to the next level.

I thought you might be washing your hair? ;D

steve. When are you going and how does one get entry or is an open door,
-
Good luck Steve,
never mind sounds like your doing really really well.
Some on here are absolutely clueless and take pleasure thinking they are clever.
Suppose at the end of the month when money is counted you will be having the biggest laugh

I'd say that with the amount of window cleaners on here now offering solar panel cleaning, virtually no one had a solar page 2 years ago, I'd say that if they are now offering it as a new service, a solar event is the perfect place for them to be.
Lots of people on their websites claim to be 'fully trained'. Where are they receiving this training, if not at a solar event?
Or..........................I wonder.............................if perhaps............................... some are advertising/doing it without knowing the first bit about it??? ::)roll ::)roll ::)roll
Anyway, I'm off to wash my hair...

I'm going tomorrow Jim and will be there from 10am. You need to register on the website to get a free badge to get in. Search for the event and you'll find the website.

Thanks Archer. The growth is faster than I can handle at times, but hey ho, we are managing! :)
My dilemma is not whether to canvass or leaflet drop anyway!!! ;) ;D

Come on Steve, wake up. How long do you think it would take to train one of us up to scrub a solar panel? Honestly?
An hour maybe? Probably less.
You're not trained to clean one either - so how can you criticize everyone else?
Well done with your business but don't come on this forum and think you are all superior like some do, you are no different to anyone else. You've simply pushed your business in a place where many don't want to go.
If that's what you want then good for you.
You haven't got many replies because for most of us, it simply doesn't interest us. I wouldn't go to a window cleaning show let alone a renewable energy lecture. If you want more replies then a small business forum rather than a windowcleaners forum might give you more.
You did say in your original post you wouldn't think it would interest many on here ???

It's like a cleaner going to a white goods exhibition and thinking she is part of the growth in halogen hobs.

Always good to talk things through Dave. :)
How long do I think it would take? Not long at all. But it is not about scrubbing a panel, it's about H&S, risk assessments, marketing, the pitch, the future of the market. I have said many, many times on here that ANYONE can clean a panel, even my granny if if gave her an Extreme! ;D But IMO, there is more to THE CLEAN.
I am not trained and do not claim to be. I do think however, that I should be and I should have some sort of qualification before I deal with something that carries a higher risk than window cleaning. If there was a course, I would be first on it because I know there should be some sort of standard to meet. Cherry pickers are not difficult at all to operate, the moving them around is not hard, but IPAF licences are required due to the potential risk. Personally, I feel solar is the same.
You say I have pushed my business where many don't want to go, but I bet that if you polled the window cleaners with a website and asked what service/webpage they have most recently added, I bet it is solar panel cleaning. This indicates it is a place where many want to push their business.
For the above reason, a cleaning forum is the best place for me to post because that is where the most potential is for solar panel CLEANING.
I did say I didn't expect it to get much response, but it is interesting how people who are not interested still respond. I only respond to threads I'm interested in, but maybe that's just me...
-
Archer do you fancy steve??? You couldnt get any further up hes behind if you tried lol..
I do agree with you but calm down or ill be questioning your sexuality. ;D
Bottom line is anybody can clean a solar panel, i have done them for years for eager who do them via government grants, i never make a big song and dance about cleaning them as they are as said simple and straight forward to do, now if i had some of the contracts you have archer then training for me would be a must.
Top respect to what a gay man as yourself has achieved. ;D
-
But Steve, can't you see the irony of your post?
You've built a big business cleaning solar panels we know that because you tell us. You've gained massive contracts with no training in cleaning panels whatsoever. Yet, you ridicule people who advertise the same service as you because they don't have training, you want to set up a city and guilds training course (and make money out of it).
If you can do it with no qualifications then why should anyone else need one?
Incidentally I said well done with your business (I meant that). When I said many members here wouldn't want to take their businesses to that level I meant the size of it. Many of us are content with where we are. Some who choose to employ think they are better than others (just look at the posts). I didn't say you were one of them I said don't become one of them.

Hope you pick this up-where and what time could I meet you?

Don't know why I bother praising someone who seems to want to do well, when boffins like you come along.
Solar Steve,
I might aswell answer like some on here to FIT IN
Hope you have a crap day, and you learn nothing, things go wrong in your business = how pathetic does it sound ????????????
Jealous Jealous people, who THINK THEY can build big business , BECAUSE ITS THAT EASY, but they choose to PLOD instead, yeah whatever :-[
+1 go big or go home!!
-
;D ;D the thing with Steve is he actually debates. You know he won't insult your wife or abuse you on the phone.
Seems a decent chap really.

Have you ever thought Archer that people might just be doing very well, much better than yourself or Big Stevie but not feel the need to create posts solely for the purpose of reminding others of that fact?
You must walk round lob-sided with all those chisel marks on your shoulder!! ;D
Get over yourself lad!! ;)
