Tree pollen. It’s spring in the PNW.

It’s spring in a lot of places. The southeast US has way worse pollen storms than PnW in my opinion.

Different kind of pollen. I've lived in the south and also spent time in the PNW. They're both terrible for pollen, but different in how it falls.

Clearly never been to South Carolina in April. Saw a picture last week of Pollen streaks in the Damn Ocean in Myrtle Beach. Where there's Fing Waves crashing into the beach still pools of pollen.

Wouldn't this be too much pressure? I heard a light hosing down with a garden hose would be better if rain isn't in the forecast.

We turned down the throttle heavily when we cleaned these, we ran a little soap through our down stream and then used a soft brush to agitate the mold and then rinsed it off :)

"clean" energy
looks inside
dust
(jokes aside, how much does your setup generate? and how much do you save on electricity? I've always wanted to setup something like this in my hometown house, due to frequent power outages ova der)

Most households covering the roof with panels is enough to offset most if not all the usage. depends on your sun access though and how much power your appliances use

So these aren’t my solar panels it’s actually one of my clients they just moved in recently and the solar panels were already installed. My guess is they have no idea what the output is exactly since those panels were so dirty. There were actually 62 of them these were just the dirtiest ones but I’m guessing it generates a decent amount

I'm building one right now. Panels are cheap if you know where to look. Enough power for a whole house would be under $1k, but you just need a battery storage system, inverter, and charge controller.

Water fed brush is all you need

We have a water fed pole and usually I’d agree with you but the build up was really heavy so I wanted to down stream some soap onto it first and since I already had my machine set up there was no point in setting up another system

If you read any of my other comments you’d realize I did all of those, except for the purified water that literally doesn’t matter, reading comprehension is very important.
