Post by: Splash & dash on August 15, 2023, 06:30:23 pm: Most solar farms ground mounts are cleaned by tractor mounted set ups now , thank goodness, it’s mind numbingly boring work we stoped doing them years ago as all staff got so demoralised doing them .

Just looks like decent amount of dust. Only 18 months old.

Post by: Slacky on August 15, 2023, 08:48:05 pm: I’d be wanting more than 50p a panel. If they’re ground mounted probably start somewhere round the 65-75p a panel. It’s tediously boring work. If they’re roof mounted lots more money-wise.

Look to do £400 - £450 + per day on them.

Years ago if you did stuff for SS you needed to clean 1,000 panels a day for around £250 😂😂😂😂 he wondered why we turned it down .

Post by: Clever Forum Name on August 15, 2023, 11:37:31 pm: Thanks for the replied, I’m not fussed so will go in at a higher price.

Tractor and brush is the way forward though!!!

Thanks.

Post by: Ggh on August 16, 2023, 02:27:03 pm: If they’re 4 in landscape, I’ve a 4.2m brush you can hire?
Title: Re: Going rate for solar farms……
Post by: Clever Forum Name on August 16, 2023, 11:58:27 pm: They are 4 high, do you mean for a tractor? That’s out of my skill set. !!
Title: Re: Going rate for solar farms……
Post by: Ggh on August 17, 2023, 05:13:05 pm: It’s a bit like this. You’ll need about 4000mm from top to bottom.

I think they’re about 8M in height. 4 panels and each one is about 2200mm in height.

What’s your number. I’ll ring you tomorrow.

Post by: Ggh on August 19, 2023, 02:24:17 pm: 8m is huge! Most are 6max. Sunbrush for tractor is 6m. They’d do two passes.
Definitely be a nightmare to do it by hand.
No good for my machine I’m afraid.
