Educating customers on ROI of clean panels to justify pricing. On top of all that, Jobber charges $49/month ($588/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median solar panel cleaner earns $38,000/year. Software at $588/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

I load the truck by 6:30 while the glass is still cool: water-fed pole, soft-bristle brushes, the DI tank topped off to 200 gallons, and I check the TDS meter reads zero so nothing spots when it dries. First stop is a 24-panel rooftop wash on a two-story colonial. I set the ladder standoff off the gutter, clip my harness to the roof anchor I installed on the first visit, and work the rows top to bottom, brushing and rinsing so the pollen and bird droppings don't just smear into the frames. I note two cracked tiles and a nest under the array and photograph them for the homeowner. By the third house the tank is close to empty, so I refill at the shop before heading east. One roof today is a steep 10/12 pitch my pole can't reach safely from the ground, so it's full harness work, an extra $50 and half an hour, and I remind the customer why it's on the quote. Another homeowner asks whether cleaning really makes a difference, so I show him his inverter readings from before and after last spring's wash. Midafternoon the sun heats the glass and I have to slow down so the water doesn't flash off and leave marks. By evening I'm writing up the jobs, sending invoices with the before-and-after photos, and going through the customers who were due six months ago and haven't rebooked, because nobody reminds them but me.
