    Cleaning

    I live in Haiti, where it is humid all the time. Our roofs suffer from black mold. Because of this, we pressure wash the steel roofs once a year.
    We plan to install around 25 kw of solar panels in the next year. I was planning on using Unisolar's laminate, to make the cleaning easy, but they went out of business. Does anyone know of a solar panel racking system that facilitates washing the roofing material under the panel easily?
    Thanks

      You sure got lucky on Unisolar - that was junk!

          try a pole mount ? leaves the roof clear. You do NOT ever want to get pressure washer blast onto any part (front, back or sides) of a PV panel, they are not designed to hold up to that, and it will for sure peel the backside layers off in a jiffy.
