[ausev] Solar panels

[gregmckay at aol.com]

We do clean ours.? I am not sure we have any specified frequency, but we just watch to see when they start to look a little dingy.

Whether you get u onthe roof to clean them will depend on your home and the roof itself.? We do not have to get on the roof to clean our panels; we do it from a ladder, and make it a two person job.? One person with the water and one person with the brush and squiggy.

I know that there are companies that will perform the cleaning, but I suspect there is a large profit margin.

Brian or any other group member with solar panels,
   The recent stimulus package is making solar panels even more affordable
which my wife and I are thinking about.  I had some questions about
maintenance.   Do you clean your panels?  And how often?  Do you get up on
the roof?  Does the installation company have a maintenance contract
available?

Thanks,

John
