So not really related to Fox specifically, but most forum members probably have panels (unless you've a battery only system) and have pondered about cleaning them.
My installation is only about 7 months old and you can see a sheen of dust and bird do-do. The roof pitch is 30 degrees, and a pole would have to be 10m long to reach the top panel with me standing on the ground, and would also need to be at 30 degrees.
Is this at all doable? What are other user's experiences?
Ta.
I have a different setup, as it’s a chalet style house, so panels at 35deg, but approx max height 9m.
As I clean the house windows every 6 weeks, the panels get cleaned at the same time.
Very easy, gets all bird droppings off and I’ve noticed even in 6 weeks, the panels all accumulate a larger build up off dirt, dust along each panels lower edge.
You will need a carbon fibre pole if you want the weight to be manageable.
Takes no more than 15 mins to clean each string of 8 panels.
Spray out of the cleaning brush all over the panels to wet them, then brush off the dirt and respray all over to finish.
Noticeable difference when cleaned.

The Phantom is good
Pick the length that suits you
10m weighs around 2 kg
Not cheap, but pays back quickly compared to having someone come round and do the samething and delivering a dose of BS over additives and products and charging £250 plus

That is a lot of money!
I got a price of £180 for a 38' Raptor Carbon pole+brush (2.15kg). Seems too cheap, so have asked for confirmation. If they don't reply, I'll take a punt and buy it.
