Post by: Tom.m on October 02, 2015, 01:48:16 pm
Afternoon chaps.

Just been to quote a vets in my local area. Looks like I'll be doing the Windows.

Noticed they have about 60 solar panel, easy access. What's the going rate?

Cheers.

Essentially how long you think it's going to take times your hourly rate.  My advice  would be to add a bit more onto your hourly rate for solar panel cleaning since it's more specialist ....

I cleaned 16 panels about 4ft x4ft each and charged £100 it took me an hour but I had to drag it out coz it probably would have only taken 30-40 minutes,I would price as much as you can we are the only people that can do it without another form of access equipment.

+1 but I'm guessing you will not see our mate solar steve paying his subcontractors over 6 squid per panel that's for sure  ;D
Example 20,000 panels on a solar panel farm x 6 = £120,000.  ::)roll

That still sounds too cheap to me for a 60 panel roof top array.
I take it the roof spa is at ground floor height too with good access all around?

I would say it's an ok price, wouldn't of thought it'd take more than an hour with two of us. Access is p easy also I kind of cold called them and the management didn't really know about solar.

I find that many people believe the installers blurb that the panels are self cleaning,

Good luck with getting the job tho
