That has been really helpful. Just been asked for my first one - so a big THANK YOU ASHLEY.

@aemackintosh 4 года назад

Paul Hickmott I’m glad you found it helpful! I hope your job goes well.😃👍🏼

@aaronadams6774 Год назад

Ive heard youre not surpose to use anh kinda chemical on them otherwise islt voids manufacturing warranty? This true? Are you still using upvc cleaner or ubik without any issue?

@TjopStick 4 года назад

Hi! Nice video! Im cleaning solar panels with a rotation brush. But the moss is really a problem. Its so dtick in the corners of the solar panels. What kind of soap solution do you use? Keep it up! 👍🏼

@aemackintosh 4 года назад

Thanks! I just use a gentle upvc cleaner usually. Letting it soak for a few minutes can help, but sometimes the growth on the surface can need a really good scrub.😃👍🏼

@alanmartin1089 4 года назад

High Ashley, I'm new to solar panel cleaning so looking for some advice on how too. I have watched some vids of professionals that say you can't use chemicals to clean solar panels but noticed you do use a chemical. Obviously you have had no issues?? Thanks Alan

@aemackintosh 4 года назад

I just use a very gentle soapy solution. Nothing harsh of course.😃👍🏼

@allaboutcleaning 6 лет назад

Do you think a more adjustable goose-neck would square-up the brush to the solar panel? Great video! I got lost into the music and almost forgot what i was watching. Lol

@larsnevens5099 Месяц назад

Is it ok to use a solution on solar panels? (I will use unger powerliquid, is this ok?)

@aemackintosh 2 года назад

Yeah. Follow the directions on the packet.👍🏼

@ojnesfield5268 3 года назад

What’s the best way to remove cement from Solar Panels Ashley please?

@aemackintosh 3 года назад

That’s a tough one! You want to be really careful with any kind of scrub pad, when that grit comes loose it’s going to scratch. If you can get some sort of plastic scraper, that might do it? Wet it thoroughly first, treat it with a little TFR and gently tease it.👍🏼

@rabbitskinner 5 лет назад

Do you turn the system off mate? Didn't know about panels cracking and I live in tropical Queensland. Something to be aware of cheers

@aemackintosh 5 лет назад

Thanks. I use a GoPro for my video footage.👍🏼

@johnclinton5617 3 года назад

Hi mate got my first job doing these panels, what upvc clear did you use I was just thinking of useing pink stuff And should I order a soft brush for my pole?

@aemackintosh 3 года назад

I use a upvc cleaner from Bonnymans.co.uk and yeah, a soft brush is not a bad idea, but as long as you use one that’s good and clean you should be fine.😃👍🏼

@clearvision2196 Год назад

@guyroxanhumphrey2707 Год назад

Do you isolate the panels before cleaning ?

@andyb4249 4 года назад

Hi Ashley, hope you’re well. I’ve been asked to quote to clean 384 solar panels on a factory roof. Been to look this morning, looks pretty straight forward as I can stand on the roof and they are well spread out but I’m struggling on pricing and would really appreciate your opinion. With it being a big job what’s your minimum price per panel? Any advise would be much appreciated. Cheers

@aemackintosh 4 года назад

Sounds like a good job. There’s a saying: something is worth whatever someone is willing to pay. So in a way, you should charge whatever you think the customer is willing to pay. But generally, the bigger the job, the less you can charge per panel. Maybe it would be a good job for £2 per panel? Also you could consider how long you think it will take you.😃👍🏼

@andyb4249 4 года назад

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. That figure sounds about right just needed to hear it from someone with a bit more experience. Keep up the good work and thanks again for the advice. 👍

@chrisgc77 3 года назад

Do you have to isolate solar panels prior to cleaning?

@aemackintosh 3 года назад

No, you will be fine. I have noticed a bit of a static shock on rare occasions, so I just make sure I always wear gloves now.😃👍🏼

@garygeach 3 года назад

Good vid! So I've been asked for a quote for cleaning solar panels and I wondered what's the general pricing for cleaning them? Also what bristles would you reccomend using out of dupont or flocked?

@aemackintosh 3 года назад

£3-£5 per panel. A flocked brush would be nice and gentle on the panels but more difficult to remove something stubborn.😃👍🏼

@DavidHanchant 5 лет назад

Do you just use normal water?

@aemackintosh 5 лет назад

David Hanchant The Hydro Power RO uses normal tap water and filters it down to zero.😃👍🏼

@markfilby9 4 года назад

could i use a big boy backpack for these and just use normal tap water? only need it for one job we need to quote so dont want to spend a fortune, thanks

@aemackintosh 4 года назад

Mark Filby I think pure water would be better as regular tap water will leave behind a residue.

@markfilby9 4 года назад

@@aemackintosh ok great thanks, also think my water is hard where I live, how long would the HydroPower last roughly? It would only be used for solar panels and add ons so wouldn't need alot of pure at all, thanks for the reply

@aemackintosh 4 года назад

I think Unger have published charts for it to indicate that sort of thing? Should be able to find it if you google it maybe?😃👍🏼

@elytegroup8978 3 года назад

Hi Ashley, Great VT! I am looking to add Solar Panel Cleaning to our offered services. You mentioned you are using a 30ft (ish) pole. Do you find 30ft is enough for most solar panel cleaning jobs or would you recommend a longer pole, if so what length? Thanks Terry.

@aemackintosh 3 года назад

Yeah, this job was a bit of a stretch actually. So a 35-40ft pole would be good. Or a platform to get yourself up to gutter level would be even better.😃👍🏼

@underpressure360 Год назад

Do you need purified water on solar panels? My guess is no but you're the man in the know.

@aemackintosh Год назад

It would be best to rinse with pure water so that you don’t get any residue spotting left behind.👍🏼

@underpressure360 Год назад

@@aemackintosh Thanks so much Ashley. 👍

@jorgemacias6966 3 года назад

What brush and pole do you use?

@mamood2007 4 года назад

I could NOT find any Solar panel brush with 24 inch width. It appears the manufacturers tested and designed 12 inch brushes. I wonder if there is any documentation or reasoning for such small brushes?

@aemackintosh 4 года назад

Unger used to do a solar panel brush, I’m not sure if they still do, but the only thing that was different about it was the colour , so you could keep it separate from other brushes for other uses.😃👍🏼

Solar panels are catching on in my area as far as I know I'm one of the only guys with wfp doing them

@aemackintosh 6 лет назад

Dave The Window Licker Good one. It’s important that they are cleaned regularly so that they work efficiently. Some home owners seem reluctant to have them cleaned because they think they will get damaged.💦😃👍🏼

@davemonk1662 6 лет назад

How much do your charge for sola panel ash .... reason I’ve asked customers have asked us I I say around £20.00 per side.... customers look at us like we’ve got 2 heads. They think its to pricey ??

@aemackintosh 6 лет назад

Dave monk Monk Cleaning services I usually charge around £5 per panel, this job worked out at £45. Probably a bit cheap, but I was keen to do this one for the video.💦😃👍🏼

How much for 14 panels. I've been quoted £35 from local council total.

@danielwalker3535 3 года назад

Your brush head face is not flat to the panels so your not getting proper purchase and not cleaning it proper efficiently It needs adjusting forward approximately 90degrees 👍

@aemackintosh 3 года назад

You can’t adjust the heads on these Unger poles. The new nLite range is going to be different though.😎👍🏼

@shaunsbclean269 3 года назад

Hi Ashley i add a 2nd adjustable angle to the goose neck before the brush to adjust the angle of the brush

@indokeren3311 5 лет назад

The tiles roof are so dirty. As soon as is start raining. It's going to get dirty again. They should have clean the tiles first before they installed the panels.

@aemackintosh 5 лет назад

INDO KEREN The solar panels are actually on brackets so they sit a few inches above the roof tiles, so I don’t think that’s really an issue.😃👍🏼
