Wicks and B&Q I’ve seen being done were cleaned using a lift and jet wash,I’ve done a low level factory with the exact same roof came up great using a friendly biocide and hot water.

Softwash with a hypo mix if it’s algae or mould it will come up like new

Thanks chaps. It’s the shiny metal roof sheets with a standing seem, if you know what I mean.
Looks like this.

I see it loads on supermarkets where we clean solar panels.
Lots of bird crap.
Access will either be from a picker or from a roof hatch.
I should just treat it like box profile then?
Virosol and wfp/gentle pressure washer?

You'll be good to go with a pressure washer - pre-treat with TFR and off you go
If its Zinc I would avoid anything like Hypo in case you get a reaction - but generally these are really easy to clean
