So happy to have found you. I hope you do the Coachella Valley. I am 78 years old and really don't want to do my panels myself. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Great vid with awesome tech to get the job done. I want to hopefully get this service done but im not sure. Will the solar panels look crystal clear after the job is done ? Im more curious about how the panels will look once they fully dry and the sun is out. What kind of percentage will cleaning them give back to the panel when producing energy thanks.
@@socalsolarpanelcleaningcompany I was thinking of buying the Pro Aqua to wash/detail my cars at home, but some reviewers say it doesn't drop the water under 117ppm on the tds water meter. Have you guys found this to be true?
No never turn power off when cleaning a customers solar .our power washer can get up to 3000 psi and you need to figure out how much money 💰 you want to spendvon your equipment
Can get this in smaller versione?? Have a houseboat whit flat 4x panels together. Gets salt spray and burdshitt on them. Have seen litle in ryobi extended washer. Any tips .??
Have you guys used the J racing Stein brush? I see Mark from am pressure washing is advertising it. I'm on a budget so wondering if it's a good option compared to the solartech c1000.
Question boss I’m bout to start a solar cleaning business do you or the customer turn off the solar so you don’t get shock please let me know god bless
@@socalsolarpanelcleaningcompany MY point is my freind... that most professional window cleaners in the Uk and Holland produce their water over night... The advantage of this is that the water will be 100 % 000 if you follow the correct process ( easy peasy ) .. Save you tons of money on resin for your DI... You will start your working day with a full tank... now the question is how many liters do you use a day ?. but definately starting the day with 800 liters in your tank or 600 liters or 1000 liters depending your van payload you will get through a fair amount of work with out worrying about finding water. hooking up water etc .. There are special RO / with float valve systems that flush your RO. and also have auto shutoff, this means you just need a place where you can park your van and hook up to a water source every evening or after work .... The Ro should be able to fill up your tank with in 3 to 4 hours and auto shut off will shut it down when the tank is full.. . But i guess by taking your own water from your home your water bill will shoot up. But saying this you will most probably be able to go through more work quicker if you have water already in your tanks ready for the day. personally i think you will earn more money when you work alone.... or part of the week alone .. Rick has his own van with a helper and you your self with a helper.. For example... You have to find out how much water you use a day first.I used to work in 2´s you definately lose money for small to medium jobs ... Has advantages and disadvantages but the profit margin is bigger if your capable of working alone IMO.
I know you are having fun, but for safety sake people should know to never spray a pressure washer at someone. If you get too close and/or have the wrong nozzle someone can get seriously injured. I have seen a pressure washer cut through leather boots instantaneously.

what did you use to clean the panels and where can I buy the brush ?
Spot free water on glass is TDS 10 or below. Spot free on car paint is below 60 ppm.
My TDS is 52 and still leaves spots on my car.
So you are filling up your truck DI water tanks hooked up to the house water as you clean their panels??
Most companies use customers water and we run ours thru the di tanks in the van to get spot free water to the customers solar panels

Hey is it okay to use between 0ppm-2ppm to clean solar panels? Or does it always have to be 0ppm?
Yes keep it under 100 ppm on the tds meter closer to zero is always best

Produce your own water via 40/40 reverse osmosis and use a bigger van with bigger tanks ..
john we use a high pressure system and and we do thousands of panels weekly will this work for that?
