The water fed brush shoudn't damage the glass, but go easy on bird poo. It can contain grit so let the water do the work and don't scrub it hard.

The manufacturers claim that you can simply rinse with tap water and it will run off leaving the surface spotless.

Try it and see.

All conservatories have to be built so the roof can be walked on although I wouldn't like to try it.

Its a big problem for these customers because nearly all the new conservatories have this glass in the roof. One of my customers just had a huge conservatory built and I commented on cleaning the roof. "oh it doesn't need cleaning its self cleaning glass"
Yeah right

I sense a good business opportunity here. Buy a conservatory ladder and go for it.
