Hi Everyone.

We have cleaned over 100,000 panels in our first year of trading!  Many thanks to the members of the forum who have done work for us.  

You can read more here: http://www.solar-panel-cleaners.com/100000-solar-panels-cleaned-by-clean-solar-solutions 

Our first year's trading finishes on June 30th, so there's a good chance we might get to 110,000!

I'd've thought you'd done more than that Steve.
I thought you had one site with 40k and another with 50k?
Well done though.
And still under the vat limit.

We have priced jobs of that size, but not done one yet.  Done two at 21,500 each though.  VAT registered from July 1st.  Chuffed with that target hit too in year one!

Fair enough.
Yeah, it's certainly an achievement.

Well done Steve

We have quoted a few of the companies listed on your website - we must have been too expensive for them.

We are not intending to go forward with advertising or pushing this service as we do not find it profitable enough.

Good luck with the next 100,000

Hi Darran.  Interesting stuff.  I know we have quoted against each other on jobs, but I have no idea what the differences were.  We are making it pay at the moment, so we will continue.

All the best with your future projects!

I always thought you were VAT registered Solar Steve - don't you own another cleaning company?

From your website you look like a National Solar Panel Cleaning Company - interesting to know how you beat the VAT man! Tell me your secrets

Hi,

Possible "artificial separation of trade" to avoid VAT registration?! Which reminds me I have a VAT return I should be doing...
 
Cheers,

Average of 79p per panel and he's safe.

We have turned things national in less than a year.  We only cleaned about 300 panels in 2012 as part of a separate business.  This has taken over that though.  Not looking to beat the VAT man, that's not a good idea to even try.  No need to go VAT registered before though because we were no where near the numbers.  In 2012 it was just me cleaning windows on my own.  Things are changing now though...

What's your favourite type of solar panel Steve?

Careful, almost sounds like a compliment

They've just built a solar farm just down the road from me. Buggered if I'd clean them though it'd drive me nuts. Windows are bad enough!
