Need to ak for assistance from the knowledge of the forum for this one...
Been asked by a customer if I can clean their solar panels, no problem thinks me, £5 per panel as per usual....
Turns out they have 68 panels!! Full "potential" off-grid eco home type thing. Thankfully it is only 1 level so bungalow height roofs for cleaning, but they are spread across 3 sides of the (large) property. He attempted to clean one side with a pole and tap water, but got a bit fed up with getting soaked
But im not really sure what to quote, at mentioning £5 per panel he nearly fell over, and to be honest, looking at the panels there is the odd bird poop mark, and a very slight green hue which should come off quite easy, so its not going to be one of those horrible lichen scraping jobs that'll cost hundreds and hundreds. From what I gather he does work in the building/design trade so has an idea of tradesmans daily rates etc. Not sure he sees window cleaning as a skilled trade though!
The extra money would be very handy, but at the same time, don't want to break my back for pennies. Just wondered if anyone else has come across a similar setup?
I've attached an ariel view of the house, solar marked in green, access/pathways marked in blue.
