Well I decided a few month back that I wasn't going to entertain cleaning solar panels, had thought about it but after reading one or two threads on here I thought really their not worth the hassle or risk. However I did still think that for anybody who was interested in cleaning solar panels it could be quite a lucrative add on to their business.
So there I am today doing a regular clean when I noticed directly behind the property I was cleaning a bungalow was having solar panels installed. Now I clearly heard the lady who owned the bungalow ask the installer how often they should be cleaned.
His reply "never" he went on to to say the panels are self cleaning and we get plenty of rain in this country to keep them clean and functioning properly, he then said any contact to the panels with cleaning brushes and materials will only damage the panels and shorten their life span...??? he finished of by saying you will get cleaning companies knock on your door and tell you otherwise but dont have it done they just don't need cleaning.??
So thats what I over heard today from the mouth of an installer, as I said early I am not interested in cleaning them but what do you think about this fellows advice to his customers..???
