i use a 40 ft supermax.


just clean them.you cant get an electric shock off a solar panel whether the inverters on or off.

as for scratching the panel.whos gonna know anyway?the customer is hardly going to get up there and inspect them when cleaned!!just make sure you clean em with a clean brush and all will be well.

Incorrect I'm afraid Dazmond. A shock from a panel will likely kill you and throw you a long way in the process. It's not a plug we are dealing with here.
do you need to ask each customer to switch off the power?

Ben, think about it. It depends what your question actually means. Do you mean isolate the panels from the house/domestic/electricity board ring main or isolate the units from yourself to eliminate any risk of any shock ?

I've found the following guys helpful.

I wouldn't divulge a bleedin' ounce if I were Steve! I don't like his secrecy but I would do exactly the same. If you're observant and have read his other posts you'll pick up little gems as you go along.

Alex Wingrove knows his stuff too IMO. Secretive too though. But helpful if you need a hand on a job.

I recently priced up a 24,000 panel array and am expecting more work of this nature to come our way, if we require help I know who I'll approach if my own resources are unavailable.
Hi Matt. I'm glad you have gleaned some info from my posts. If I was as secretive as some make out, i would post anything anywhere! Did the info help you get the 24,000 job?

I see you are digging around from the thread you posted about shoddy workmanship. It pays to do your homework eh mate?  :)
Glad it's taking off for you. :)


Steve, hi, the didn't come our way in the end. The feedback we got was that they were going to get 'in-house' guys to clean them. I figured they didn't like the money and figured agency labourers could come up with the goods.

Live and learn, I hope to pursue this side of the business a little further. Work of this nature is beginning to materialise and I intend to continue to pursue it.

Nice website by the way :-)

Kind regards

Matt.
Oh mate, I thought you got it, sorry! Not sure 'in-house' will take off. It will come good for you. Glad you like the website.

Has anyone died from cleaning solar panels.?
Never even thought about electrocution from solar panels.
Just clean them like a window.
