No, roof service starts over 100 just to get up there. Plumbers charge 100 to come to your house it's not overcharge he even said first time cleaning. So likely be charges 125 to get in the roof 75 for the cleaning but double because it was the first

I wouldn’t say it’s technically scamming because he’s explaining to the customer what they will receive aswell as how much $ it will be and they accept! If anything it’s more the customers not being educated enough or knowing anywhere cheaper!
He’s not scamming just charging the market rate that big companies charge. The rate is so high because advertising the google and other major ways is very expensive. And that cost unfortunately goes to the customer. I had to pay $29 per click for my garage door business in my area.
@@ethanbaker5987 A cleaning that takes less than 15 minutes? Too bad I'm not from there because else I'd start such a business tomorrow. I'd charge at least 30% less. No need for buying expensive ads if you're doing an excellent job while charging 30% less than average...
I HAVE 16 PANELS and just clean them myself. Does take around 30 min to complete. But notice my panels will make 20-30% more electricity after a good cleaning. I'm not going to pay someone when it is simple to do.
Use automatic wipers and water injecters in solar panel, like as a car wiper. If you think wiper get dirty after few days. Use wiper hiders so when solar panel dirty just start water spray and then use automatic wipers after shinning just hide the wipers. Cool idea 💡 😎
I say the same thing about working regular car maintenance. Fluids and brakes are stupid easy. Can save money, doing it on your own. A bit more work on my end, but some these places be charging too damn much.
With solar panels you can't use water from the hose though, just like how you get calcium build up in your shower that will happen and possibly damage solar panels if you use normal water, you have to use pure water with no minerals
Air that was compressed on top of Mount Fuji in Japan, then carried down the mountain on the back of Elegant Unicorns. Then shipped Via Air Shipping on the back of a Charizard. You can always save a little money by using the Economy Class Air Dragonite of course.
If they only saved that little, then they overpaid. I could plug in an EV, turn on all the lights, and run every appliance in my house and still not put a dent in how much my solar panels produce.
If you live in AZ the electricity can be 300 to 600$ in bad months , we had a solar system for the day charging our batteries then use them at the heat of the day and evening when the rates 3x higher
It’s like this. There are multiple people on the job, and they started early and took a while to set up. They also had to buy their own tools and know the precautions. Lastly, the person is fully awarely paying for this, so it is not a scam.
Then you void the warranties if the solar company ever found out. You aren’t supposed to scrub panels with anything it creates micro scratches that refract the uv rays and degrades the panels.
I just watched your other video where you charged less and people said that you should charge more. Then I saw this one and people are complaining that you’re charging too much 🤦🏽♀️ Saying that they could just do it themselves. People have to realize that if you can do it yourself, do it! But for those people that don’t want to climb up and try to do this on their own… Not knowing what they’re doing, they should use this type of service. We all have to keep in mind that when we pay someone to do a service that we possibly COULD do like maybe, mowing the lawn or something like that, we are paying for another person’s time, energy, and resources. I just met someone that is in the solar panel cleaning business and he was explaining to me how some people think you can just spray Windex and that will clean it but it doesn’t. It leaves a film and that will won’t help you get the return that you want. To make sure the job is done right, I think people should hire a professional. Anyway… Good luck to you man!👍
I like he he washed it with hose water and scrubbed it numerous times wasting water even though It only really takes one wash for a solar panel to be cleaned just so he feels better for overcharging
You know how glass is made right? By super high heat- the only reason ur solar panel glass will may break it cause you are changing temprature from hot to cold very quick.
I was a solar installer and I would like to learn how to clean them the very durable you got to think about it like in Florida it rains just about every day at least in the Panhandle temperatures get really hot that water is not hot and they don't crack then

Rain doesn't clean them just makes the caked up dust build up even more at the bottom edges and on top of that they'll look all white and dry if the right water isn't used

….in certain areas, if you dont clean them periodically they will produce A LOT less power…we’ve seen some systems go down by up to 60%…so you wont be saving much money if they arent producing much energy. ALSO, most homes that have panels on them are on lease-to-own agreements or are outright owned by the installers and/or energy companies…which means a lot of these homeowners arent even getting the full benefits of said production until they get beyond whatever threshold was set by the installer or energy company. Crazy how people pay will for landscaping, car washes, pressure washing, etc. but argue against panel cleaning, which actually helps your bills, not just improves cosmetics like those other services
At those prices, I would buy a good ladder and a nice power wash to do myself. You need to cover the whole path so that you don't damage the shingles with your walking back and forth. I forgot, you also do roofing, 😏
Does it not rain there??? I have never needed to clean my panels as the rain clears everything off. Solar company comes out every 3 months to inspect them (included for 3 years after purchase) and I not them have ever cleaned them. By the looks of those panels, must live in a desert.
@@TymoPaints true, but your solar panels do not do 60 into the pollen and dust causing it to plaster on them. I am just going off my person experience as I live in FL so we have lots of heavy rain.
Cleaned 700 panels for an APT complex in 2 hours a day AFTER there was heavy rain…those panels still had tons of built up dirt, pollen, even moss and grass growing on the panels…if rain was sufficient why do car washes exist? And thats JUST for cosmetics..cleaning panels actually helps them produce more energy which reduces your bill. Why are sooo many people arguing in here about stuff they know nothing about?
To me it sounds like 275 a year for the quarterly service. They'll drive back like 3 times to keep the panels clean. Also depending your setup and location you could save like 5k or more a year.

Nah this was bad deal lmao I could easily get them cleaned for 50 bucks
Cleaning every two to three years should be enough
275 for the quarterly package so they drive to your house, climb the roof to clean 4 times a year for 275 so it's not bad.

Not everyone is physically capable. Would you want your grandma climbing up A ladder on to her roof just to clean off the solar panel
I know right like you could save 200$ if you just did it on your own jeez

And to properly wash those solar panels you should be using reverse osmosis water.. Garden hose water is still gonna leave him spotty

No sir just water. Di water is best
do you have to wash with soap?
Pure water is best. I do not use chemicals
In California, a new build is even more negative cash in regards to solar when you factor cleaning.
I clean my panels my self,when ever I have time😎
I don’t no why but that was so satisfying
What if you you warm water or instead of cool water? What are the chances of not breaking the glass then?
Does it matter on what water you does it have too be filter water just asking?
Manufacturer and providers warranty typically specifies that use of anything "other" than pure water will void coverage... 🙂

Is there anything to turn off before you do the cleaning?
No , though panels must be inspected before cleaning for cracks or any wires that are exposed which could risk damaging them
In Pakistan an average labor works maximum 4$.
But it's very easy work at 2$ maximum for this job
Can you actually calculate the time it took to communicate and drive to and from the customers houses?
I mean we were on the roof for an hour
I have 511 Solar Panel on my property and it cost me about $12 worth of water and one day of work
You’d probably be better off putting some water in a bucket early on so it’s the same temp as outside, that way there would be no cracks
That could work.

Dawn dish soap for the win.
So 275$ to spray some water on the panels?
Is that all we did?
@@TymoPaints And you wiped them!!! 😱😱😱😱 Dear lord get some lemonade and an Olympic medal for this hero!
