i do same thing and i respect these guys hustle but please do not put any cleaning agents on your solar panels. this will void warranty. unfortunately some bad information here. using pressure is a little sketchy too. this can cause fractures and damage the non reflective coating. also some GOOD information in this video. GOOD VIDEO .OVERALL, but majority of solar cleaning community will dis agree with the first guys method. thanks for making this video and getting the conversation started
Best you can do is to follow the solar panels manufacture recommendations. You can always contact them and find out whether your specific solar panels are safe to wash with detergent. If so what kind of detergent. I wash my own solars with pressure washer only. I use soft water to retain minerals and prevent layers mineral buildup. I want to start brushing although I want to find very soft bristle brush. I will potentially like to start working my own business. I m a certified sterile processing tech who would like to do some very good cleaning for solars. Cleaning solars does help a little bit the solar energy production. I would suggest washing solars at least 2 to 3 times per year.
MY area is very dusty and low rain in the summer so it looks like I'll need to was once a month. Be care with the pressure washer, some companies and RUclipsrs advise not to use them, so depends which kind.
Great work guys I can tell you guys been doing this for last 6 months and become successful here in the Central Valley!!! Mark Henry and Rick thank you for giving me the courage starting up my business
Hey man I’m also a solar cleaning company in Hanford please don’t listen to these guys chemicals and soap on solar panels is a big no. there’s isn’t an installer in Hanford who’s warranty covers chemical or soap to be used on panels in fact you are voiding warranty’s if you are doing this also the use of pressure washers are a stipulation of warranties and cannot under any circumstances be used please don’t find your self in a lawsuit
Bless you guys, you don't know how many people try to sell you a course. And spin you around the whole video until you know that you have to enroll in the course to get any real information!!!
25:06 So cleaning it may have possibly increased production by 3-5%? Looks like it goes from 40 kw to 42 kw. Clearly production is going to be really low on the rainy days, but all the days before that was around 40 kw, and after it looks like it's 40 kw - 42 kw. We'd probably need to see more days to compare. I'd be interested in seeing them clean half an array and then showing us what the kw production difference between the arrays is
I work in the solar industry and I’m not knocking the cleaning as we do cleaning as well, but the cleaning is relative to the price it cost for the cleaning service and frequency of the cleaning. That’s just my opinion. Good work guys. Be safe out there as one OSHA fine for no harness will eat your profits for a few jobs.
ADT cleans their solar panels for free. In theor contract they don't want anyone else touching the panels they install. They have their own contractors for install as well as their own roofing team. Every time the panels are showing a decrease in power buildup they will send a crew out to wash the panels. ADT is doing this right.
Clear Colorado early winter day, elevation 6700 feet. Sounds crazy, but got 145 - 150 watts input from 160 watt solar panel. Charged my River 2 Max from 40% to 100% in two hours.
absolute fact. You should clean your panels. Just did mine again. Fires, dirt and little presents left by pigeons. You can see the improvement on your arrays production metrics. NO JOKE!
That's right! I started my business last summer and I'm trying to grind it out through this 1st winter but I'm not giving up and I can't for this year!
You only need to have safety gear on a roof if you are working within 6 feet of the roof ledge. Besides there are no anchors. Love that rotating brush. They didn’t exist when I cleaned. Could have really enjoyed using that brush at Camp Pendleton Naval Hospital solar panels and windows.
@@ImBetterThanYouHoe sorry brother, IWA sets the safety standards and I was at those meetings. No tie off if you are not working within 6 feet of the ledge. There also have to be facility supplied anchors or you must bring your own providing there is a place to fasten them.
@@ImBetterThanYouHoe I was a commercial window cleaner for 16 years. We cleaned government facilities like the VA hospital in San Diego, Camp Pendleton Naval Hospital, The City of Carlsbad Libraries, business offices, fire stations and police departments. Most Stores in the San Diego Outlet Malls, San Marcos City council , UCSD Offices and about 2900 other customers. I do know what I am talking about. I was also present for the discussions on high rise safety in Anaheim.
Nice work!! I have small pressure washing trailer and I'm in Arizona want to do solar panels cleaning. Does anyone know what insurance is good that yall use??
I’m not too sure about that power scrubbing brush on the solar panels. Imagine using that on the clear coat of your car. That’s going to cause swirl marks and decrease the efficient of the panels.
This brush is specifically designed for solar panels this is what they use in Europe all day long so it's not going to scratch the glass this is considered the top-of-the-line brush for solar panels
@@nicovalenzuela4044 Spot free water has nothing to do with a brush being too rough on glass and risking scratches. Spot free water just has no minerals so it doesn’t dry with spots all over the glass like tap water would.
panels are so dark that as soon as the sun comes out, energy passing though the snow strikes the panel, produces a little warmth, and the snow slides off. including with deeper snow.
Good job friends, its well-deserved for solar panel cleaning. Am Suresh K from India. We are doing Solar Moule cleaning field in Power Plants from 2015 but we are facing so many difficulties with manpower as well as equipment. will you provide any assist like equipment it will be very help to us
This is awesome I work commercial solar but want to start doing some side jobs and I think I've found my next added endeavor...for some one starting out cleaning do you need to have a pressure washer? What would you recommend for someone starting out as a side gig?
It rained on Monday 1/17/22, on Wednesday after cleaning the panels it went from 12kw to 42kw in the video you can see the chart the customer provided. This will save you money, numbers don't lye. Do the math and you will understand.
Omg, that guy could know a lot about sales and car detailing but he doesn't know anything about solar panels. Cleaning panels with that mop, leaving all the edges (where the dust and mould is), with soap (not allowed by the PV brands) and with pressure water. SoCal is a good choice.
Yup, he just voided the warranty with just the chemical alone. Not even mentioning the use of that mop... Only a handful of products are certified for use on solar panels (by the manufacturers themselves!) Last time i checked, none of them could be used on windows and cars....
You shouldn't be using chemicals or high pressure wash. Literally, purified water is all you should be using. Take note of this company and spread the word. Not good what they're doing.
@@socalsolarpanelcleaningcompany How much did you charge for that job in the video? And curious, whats realistically is possible to make net profit a day or a week in average? Thank you for sharing

so henry say's adding soap/chemicals to the solar panels voids the solar panels.. my question is, is the soap mark is using bad and voids the warranty?
Wow . 250 us dollar ?? Realy ??? At this price is more convenient DO NOT INSTAL the fotovoltaic system. Brcause 2 times /month cleaning = 500 us /month. Very , very expensive. It is not susteinable this bussines at this price. Unfortunately.

What detergent do you recommend

@@HF1.0 those brushes are literally specifically engineered to clean solar panels so ur trippin
Plastic brushes will never scratch glass! Dirt on the brush can.
How does snow affect the panels in the winter? Is there a service to remove snow after a big storm? Do panels get struck by lightening?
panels are so dark that as soon as the sun comes out, energy passing though the snow strikes the panel, produces a little warmth, and the snow slides off. including with deeper snow.
Great video Reyes!

You shouldn't be using chemicals or high pressure wash. Literally, purified water is all you should be using. Take note of this company and spread the word. Not good what they're doing.
Bs. Need to know correct chemicals. Certain types of mold doesnt come loose with just water.

you said 17 panels and there's 30 xD lol
Exactly what I thought. He might be a great salesman but he must be ripping himself off on quotes.
What soap ?
