solar panels are going up at an alarming rate where I live. Its all traditional round me, so I guess they wont reach with a ladder  ;D what size Gardiner would be needed to just reach the top of a roof on a semi

Yeah but to be honest I think domestic solar panel cleaning is a waste of money.

I am doing one on Saturday and they are on a bungalow lol.

Wouldn't bother unless you will use to pole for other work.

Slx 25 and extensions are way to go tho!!

Got an extreme 47 and several extensions. SPC has paid for around 70% of the outlay and the pole is mint still.

But SPC has dried up round here. Used to get 2/3 enquiries a
Month. Now NOTHING.

extreme 47 with a 90 degree gooseneck and flocked brush.will get most solar panels on house roofs.its another service to offer to go along with UPVC cleaning and conny roofs.

offering these services along with regular window cleaning keeps you earning more money from existing customers.
price higher/work harder!

You can also consider an extreme 25' with extension kits. This allows you to use the 25' as your everyday pole. It is a more flexible option than the extreme 47' route.

I obviously disagree with some of the other comments on here about solar panel cleaning, but then again, I guess I would cos I'm awkward. ::)roll :)
