I have a 35slx which is ok for a few jobs. Trouble is, it often depends on house situation and pitch of the roof. I just got myself the Xtreme 25 with extension upto 44ft so I can take on more of these jobs. The 35slx would be very limited methinks. I don't do many, but that is what I notice when I drive around my area.

Do you do quite a few panels Daz? Would you say it's worth investing in a pole for the panels?

Would think the 90 degree gooseneck or an adjustable one would be better for solar panels due to the angle of the roof.

Adjustable ones are better as you can always get the whole brush face onto the panel to make the job faster and better. Having a fixed angle you either don't have the brush square on the panel or you have to move pole about more to get it square on the glass

to be honest mick i invested in a 40ft pole for reaching windows on a few commercial/large domestic properties.

solar panel cleaning is  just another add on job i can do  if regular window cleaning customers want them cleaned to go with conny roof/fascia/soffit cleaning.
