Wicks and B&Q I’ve seen being done were cleaned using a lift and jet wash,I’ve done a low level factory with the exact same roof came up great using a friendly biocide and hot water.

Softwash with a hypo mix if it’s algae or mould it will come up like new (http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1680300185_C4734D9C-2D8A-4A38-967E-9C6DDF91B13E.jpeg)(http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/1680300185_A3235A64-B3FB-40B9-BD46-AAAE03D5CEA8.jpeg)

Thanks chaps. It’s the shiny metal roof sheets with a standing seem, if you know what I mean.
Looks like this.

I see it loads on supermarkets where we clean solar panels.
Lots of bird crap.
Access will either be from a picker or from a roof hatch.
I should just treat it like box profile then?
Virosol and wfp/gentle pressure washer?

You'll be good to go with a pressure washer - pre-treat with TFR and off you go

If its Zinc I would avoid anything like Hypo in case you get a reaction - but generally these are really easy to clean
