Title: Which brush for solar panels
Post by: Cookie on September 24, 2015, 08:35:35 pm
I have been asked to clean some solar panels on a customers bungalow which will be easily reachable with my CLX-22. I use a Gardiners Super-Lite medium mixed dual trim brush for window cleaning, will this also be OK for solar panel cleaning?

Do you need insurance to clean them or are u covered under public liability?

I'm with Gleaming Insurance. I've just checked my policy and I am covered.

Maybe SS could recommend a brush. It might cost you a couple of quid for the privilege though  ::)roll

What made you come up with this nugget of information, or rather question ? There's no legal requirement to have insurance to clean anything, let alone have public liability.

I was asking because I'm not sure if my public liability covers it or not or whether I'd need separate insurance.
-legal requirement is nothing to do it. If someone was cleaning my £12,000 solar panels, I wouldn't let them near it unless they are insured. It cost me £95 for the year to be covered for £5 million , so it's not as if it costs the earth
