Slx extension & carbon goose neck

[Windowcleaner88]

Advise please … I have the SLX 35 and it’s great pole but a few customers that I have there solar panels are just out of my reach, should I get the 8 & 9 extensions and carbon neck or invest in a longer pole maybe the super max or Xtream ?
Thanks in advance

The all is a very bendy pole at that length adding further extensions will probably mean the pole will rub on the gutters or roof tiles depending on the pitch , with a longer pole you can open the sections half way this will make the pole more ridged the extream poles also bend trying to do solar , if sections are extended near full we use ultimate poles for higher solar but it’s not worth spending that much unless you have a lot of work for it .

You could get an extended carbon fibre gooseneck from Gardiners. This will keep the pole off the gutters and give you an extra couple of feet reach

I actually have an SLX 35 with a couple extra sections added - agree it does bend a bit more than is ideal. However have used it at full extension on a flatish pitch solar clean before and used the technique of lifting the base above me head it worked fine and didn’t hit the gutters - found this old pic on my phone :
