To sustain a business just doing solar panels you would need loads and loads of jobs day in day out the ones I've done all want it doing yearly,I'm not fussed about doing them I'll only do them if they ask I don't try to promote it tbh.
We used to do a lot but a certain person who used to come on hear does have a lot of contacts and gets a lot of work he only pays 18 pence a panel so it's not financial viable, also its mind numbing to do several weeks on one large site , on some of the ones we did access was difficult with a van as the roads were very rutted , generally we only do smaller jobs now and domestic as I didn't feel it was worth the hassle on some roof mounts on farms they can be really filthy and take a lot longer to clean , I don't think it will be to long before all these big sites are cleaned using tractors with cleaning machines mounted on them we have dozens of large solar farms where I am and I've started seeing them used more instead of poling them by hand , best way to do it as far as Ime concerned , personally I would suggest forget this type of work and build up a decent window round , regular cleans , easy work , good money solar panel cleaning as it's done now is a dying business, although ss wouldn't agree as he's trying to sell it as a franchise and make a quick buck with it
