I'm not sure what's worse. Your spelling, your grammar or your ignorance in speaking about a subject you obviously know nothing about.
Steve, there is no need for nastiness.
I can understand where people are coming from, i have done a quick search on the net and there is info on how to clean solar panels, but nothing about the dangers cleaning them with water (apart from climbing up on a roof). There is info advising people to switch them off before they clean, Perry tait is also pushing solar cleaning, with videos showing you how its done. You have articles from "Green" companies saying about buying kit from www.ionicsolar.com. So, why is it not recommended for people to clean their own panels with a WFP system?
Regarding the nastiness, I do not take kindly to people implying that I am feeding them 'bullpoop' and implying my service is scamming from an individual who seems to know nothing about the subject. It isn't.
If you cannot find info about the dangers of cleaning panels with water, I'm afraid you have not dug deep enough. Like I said in my original post on the thread, it has taken me 4 years of research to gather, collate and compute the info for this service. It cannot be done with 'a quick search on the net'.
Ionicsolar is just a website for the window cleaning company ionics. A very professional and forward-thinking company. A child could use their kit to physically clean a solar panel, no problem.
But is the array safe to clean in the first place? Does a homeowner know the risks involved? Will they know how to check the wiring? What if the seal has perished on the panel and the water seeps into the electric carrying part of the unit? Will they have the proper PPE? Can they check for hotspots? I very much doubt they can because they are not aware it needs to be done.
Ionics and other companies are under no obligation to inform people of the risks of using their equipment to clean solar panels. They are just selling their kit, in the same way knife manufacturers do not need to tell people how to use a knife safely.
I don't come on this forum to argue the toss with folks, but to network and expand my business. When I saw this thread, I felt and still feel it would be advantageous for my and the writer of the original post to do business together. For him to buy into the idea, I need to explain my credentials. They are strong credentials, evidenced by the fact that this year my company will likely clean more solar panels than any other in the UK.
We have deals with some of the biggest players in the UK solar market today. You do not get these by giving them 'bullpoop' or by 'doing a quick search on the net'.
