Price by your hourly rate, simples ?Hi
My name is Doug and I am new to this forum. Based in Somerset near Frome. I have been asked to quote to clean some solar panels and was wondering how others go about quoting for these?
They don't take any longer than a standard window in my experience as there are no frames to mess about with.As I have never cleaned one, I have no idea whether they are different to cleaning windows or how long it would take to clean each. And as it seems to be an annual thing presumably they get quite a build up on them. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.
An isolator won't stop any charge from the panelsThey don't take any longer than a standard window in my experience as there are no frames to mess about with.
I always ask if there's an isolator switch and if so, to turn it off. This obviously stops any electricity flow.
Good luck
It's a belt and braces approach. The more 'off' switches the better with water I.m.o. I even wear wellies when cleaning them (rubber soles!) lolAn isolator won't stop any charge from the panels
It would only isolate the current from travelling into the house as the panels can't be turned off due to how they work.. they are always making electricity
What brush do you use @Damo?I charge £2 per panel and a min charge of £20 but i am looking at raising this to £3 a panel and a min charge of £30 now.
I used to do a lot but maybe 5 - 10 jobs a year. Still it slowly paid of my extreme 47 and its still like new
I think i read somewhere that the utility companies recommend that the panels are isolated before cleaning.It's a belt and braces approach. The more 'off' switches the better with water I.m.o. I even wear wellies when cleaning them (rubber soles!) lol
It is a complete fallacy as the panels are always live and if anything was gonna pass a current down your pole it would be the panels the brush is touchingI think i read somewhere that the utility companies recommend that the panels are isolated before cleaning.
Beautiful website Damo. Great professional feel.
Sort of thing I would want professional guidance for before going ahead. Electricity, carbon, and water don't mix!Surely turning off the power is actually more dangerous? Imagine if the box has faulty wires :1f635:
