just use the softest brush you have, they don't take long, I bought the solar panel cleaning brush from window cleaning warehouse but if I'm totally honest I can't tell the difference between it and some of my vikan brushes

Not quite. You need to get the inverters turned off too. Do you have the correct insurance?

turning the inverters off isnt needed. the inverters only turn the dc current that the solar panels produce into ac current that powers stuff in the house,

turning a inverter off is just like turning the a light off, it stops the power to the house, but dont stop the power from the solar panels to the inverter!

Thanks Richard , Steve its just a £45 one off I have my standard public liability but not special solar insurance as this is the first time I have done one in 6 years and will most defo not be doing any in the near future so special insurance won't be needed , so Steve is Richard right or are you saying I must do it your way ? Pls advise

the dc power is made under the glass on a solar panel right up there on the roof,
there is no way of stopping this, unless you either cover the panel or wait till night.


QUOTE from solar panel supplier and fitter

Most solar arrays have two kill switches on either side of the inverter. That makes for places that need to be turned off before the thing is really … OFF. Even after this array is OFF, the panels are still ON. They are always ON during the day. You can’t cover them and turn them OFF. Snow won’t turn them OFF. Nothing except nighttime will turn them OFF. The only way to turn the OFF is to remove the J-Box and wires, which will destroy them … so rule of thumb … solar panels are always ON during the day … no matter what you do

According to our broker were covered for panels anyway, maybe you are regardless.

yer loads, i do all the domestic systems cleaning for a local firm that supplies and fits them.
basicly yer turn up, get poles out clean and pack up.
some are simple to get to, others are a lot harder to get to.

Yeah, but Solar Steve is the Solar Dude and he doesn't want a Solar Crystalclear. Apart from anything else, it isn't an alliteration. Anyway, I'm not talking to you as Oakley Under 11s beat AFC Newbury Under 11s yesterday.

Turning off the inverters only does away with the AC. The DC still produces in the panel as RC says it does. However, the DC needs the AC to shock you. By turning off the inverters, the DC cannot shock you. With the inverters left on, it is conceivable that you can be on the receiving end of a potentially fatal shock.

Forget people saying they are sealed units, so are upvc windows and we all know they can go after 3 weeks or 8 years. Panels are the same. I'm sure you will be fine taking a chance on a one off job of this size, but there is no way on earth I would let myself or my lads do a commercial installation with the inverters left on. You won't know anything about a shock until you are lying on your back with your hair smoking!

Regarding insurance, I would still get it added to your policy. If you let your car insurance expire and thought you could get away with doing one journey, you could virtually guarantee the cops would pull you over that day!  Please don't take offence, but because this is your first job too, there is a higher chance of something going wrong. Depending on who you are insured with, you can get the cover at no extra cost. For the sake of a phone call it is worth the peace of mind.

Hope this answers your questions.
