For me I've decided against entering the market. I've researched it quite a bit and - for me - the investment in a pole that can only be used for SPs (I've little commercial here) + PPE means that a breakeven would be too far away.

Locally some beermat market research shows there is relatively little interest in regular yearly cleans of SPs. This may be down to my location which is very rural.

I'm not saying I won't get into it in the future, but for now it's on the backburner.

PPE is the same as WFP bud.
No one has ever been electrocuted by a solar panel.
Pole-same.
A soft brush may be the only extra thing you need.
And the paperwork and methodology obviously.

Pole isn't same for me - I'd need to buy a longer one.
Serious risk of electrocution. Ask my mate and the fire service.
There is a risk of electrocution Carl, you are right. Must more be done to make people aware of this.
