I have found that solar panels can be a bit tricky.

 They are often high up, and if there is any flex in the pole it means that the clamps often catch the bottom of the panel. I use an slx-30, and could do with a gooseneck to take up the slack.

The good thing is that punters cant really see how well the job is done as they can't peer through them and whinge about spots.

The last ones I did were £5 per panel.
if it is dirty it is fair game

I assume this must be for a one off clean? I clean 18 solar panels every other month for one of my regular customers at the same time I clean her windows, I charge an extra £10 to clean them.. I timed it today and it takes me 6mins 30secs and they had a lot of bird poo on them today as well!!!  :)
