Im curious to know what others think is likely to be the going rate for cleaning of a roof-mounted solar pandl complex. The details are as follows.

Roof mounted, on a small number of barns, though its a reasonably flat roof. Slope angle of roof ranges from about 15° to maybe 25°, so easy enough to work on.

Total number of panels is 1200.

I have got the job but am interested to see what others might suggest they’d quote the work at. I have been given a copy of another cleaning companies quote and to be frank am quite surprised, as were the owners.

£3 per penel?

How much did Solar Steve pay his subcontractors a panel?  Was it 12p or 17p a panel?

20 p per panel needless it say we didn’t do many for him 😂😂😬

[Slacky]

Anyone know what he reckons he was quoting at?

[NWH]

Lol 20p per panel I thought people earned good money cleaning them.

If you clean 10000 panels for  him it looks good money evan at 20 p per panel but it’s not for me Ime afrade

[windowswashed]

20p per panel....is that a joke?

[NWH]

Yeah but why would I want to clean that many panels lol,I like my shoulders but I wouldn’t at the end of the day after cleaning that many for peanuts. I clean 10 4ft square ones and she pays me 80 notes this one customer so I think I’ll stick with what I charge thanks.

It’s when you see thousands of them in a field . I’d lose where I was. As in which ones I’d cleaned.

Unfortunately not that’s what he offered us and I know that was more than he paid  others  ,

I’ve seen a quote of his for a job at £4.00 a panel.

Quite impressive I reckon, considering its no extreme to knock out 300 panels a day.  Its my opinion thats a conservative figure.

He expected us to do minimum of 800 panels a day to make any money you need to do 1000 !!!!!

How many panels was that?

The prices he was offering subbies was ridiculous. There was still a steady stream of them on here willing to take the jobs off him though, probably still is.

[Slacky]

1500 panel job that one.

The customer knew it was way over the top which is why I was given a copy of it. This was before I’d offered my quote, which was odd I thought. Basically they gsve me the job at whatever price I wanted, so really Mr SS did me a favour and bit off his own nose in the process.

Can’t win em all.

75p per panel works out a good hourly rate...you can do 4 in a minute  if you have a wide brush with four jets....you dont need pure either. There, ive said now.....

[Slacky]

Dont be stupid.

You cannot clean 4 solar panels a minute. Minute after minute after minute. Unless theyre all within a 2 yard distance from you, are reasonably clean to start with and extremely easily accessible, i.e. on the ground.

These broad, sweeping statements on here are about as useful as a chocolate fireguard.

4 panels a minute, 8 hours a day, 75p each, that works out at £1440.00. a day. Lightweight.

There, ive said now.....

Some things are better left unsaid.
