No one?  ;D

Mother and father in law have just had a set of new solar panels installed on there new house. They were told by the company to have them cleaned twice a year minimum, surprised me!

Never cleaned any before but see plenty around here.
Are they at all sensitive to being cleaned with a brush, what about if you caught one of those cross wires?

I have a customer that I clean his solar panels twice a year and he keeps a database of the output from the panels. He tells me that the output increases by 25 to 35% after a clean and he's thinking of changing the cleans to three times a year.

Some we do quarterly!

The days of them being sold as ‘self cleaning’ are long gone. It’s industry standard to get them done now.

You want lots of water and a rotary brush on those.

Who the hell is x-raying panels?  They looking for broken bones?  NO ONE X-rays their panels Julian.  Your information is inaccurate.  I have a course if you're interested in learning what your 'x-ray testing unit' are actually doing!  ;D
