IGADPole 17 FT Water-Fed Washing Kit with Soap-Dispenser, Brush, 10″ Squeegee & Cobweb Duster for Windows, Gutters, Solar Panels & Exterior Walls

I was able to clean my 20+ solar panels from the ground with a short stepladder. The 28 ft size was the best length for me. I was able to easily adjust the length of the pole shorter as I worked from top to bottom of the solar array with the water-fed brush. I used water only for simplicity and it was very effective. There is a soap dispenser that may be attached but I didn’t think it was necessary for solar panels but it would be helpful for windows. When fully extended the weight of the pole is sufficient for scrubbing the panels. Make sure to not let the brush slip off the top panel as it is heavy to lift back into position. The process was pretty easy for cleaning the panels. Depending on how the panels are arranged on the roof the job could be done entirely from the ground. Without a step ladder. Make sure to read the instructions fully before making any cuts to the water line for shutoff valve placement. The cost is very reasonable and can be used for many applications. I was focused on solar panel cleaning. The telescoping pole is well designed and easy to lengthen or shorten. It is less than six feet collapsed and easy to store.

This system works well to clean our solar panels. It is wobbly at full extention. 24'. We love the adjustable that we can euse it at.

I bought this kit originally to try and clean my solar panels on a 1.5 story metal garage roof from the ground. It really didn't work well for that purpose, by the time the pole is fully extended it's pretty flexible and awkward to control at an angle. Access to the panels from the roof is pretty sketchy for someone not used to working on a slick metal surface so I paid a professional to come in and do that job. Next up was cleaning the skylights on my house roof. I found it worked OK for this purpose, but it had some drawbacks. The water on-off valve is awkward to use and very fiddly, likewise the soap dispenser - I ended up just putting a few drops of dish soap on the window and not bothering with the dispenser after the first attempt. Both of these are due to the fact that the flow through brush aspect of the pole is kind of an afterthought - the pole itself is just an extendable hollow tube and the water is in a small tube that runs through it; to accommodate the fact that people may want to use it in shorter or longer form the hose just come out the base end of the tube and has a garden hose connector... which means that instead of having something like a trigger or soap dispenser actually mounted on the tool, they are just loose on the hose. This in turn means that you have to either have an assistant managing these for you or you have to put the tool down, go to the end of the hose and make your adjustments, then go pick the tool back up and use it, then put it back down again and repeat the process when you need to change something. This is really a pain when you're working on a roof. Finally, although it comes with multiple attachments the reality is that if you have it setup for the flow-through brush you can't really use the other tools without a major re-configuration involving removing the hose from the brush and pulling it out of the handle... so you'll want to have a separate squeegee available and not plan to go back and forth between them on the same job.

This one is better than I expected. The water in the brush head is an added bonus. I am currently using this to clean my house’s vinyl siding. It has been working very well! Just have to keep the water hose from kinking, but that is to be expected

I bought this with a bottle of Glass Gleam Solar panel soap to clean my panels. Set up was not too difficult (instructions are a tad vague). It's light weight and easy to use. Panels look like new after scrubbing and saw a nice bump up in productivity. Only problem is the blue hose that runs through the telescoping pole is unable to handle the PSI of a garden hose. When I used the stop valve to shut off the water to the brush, the blue hose below the valve bulged badly in places, and sprung a leak at one of the bulges. I think I can cut out and eliminate that section, but may need to replace. If you are connecting to a garden hose, don't open the tap all the way - keep the water pressure relatively low.

If you've been like me wondering how you don't spend over $120-$150 every time you see that your production levels have gone to 15-20% of your max capacity of your solar panels, this is likely the thing you've been looking for. It carries a pretty hefty price ($180 after tax in CA) but this thing is sturdy, shoots out a great stream of water, and as long as you have decent footing, you should be just fine. I should note that I don't have too many panels (12). If i had more and a flatter roof, this would be a great tool. If i had more than 16 and i had to clean it the way I did with this pole, I would likely do it only when I saw productivity hit 80%. Installation: Like others noted, it doesn't come with great instructions so don't be like me and get it all ready to go and figure out that the little T piece with two female looking pieces on either side needs to be placed somewhere you can reach to turn the water flow on and off (I mistakenly thought you could do that with the switch for the soap dispenser). You need to cut the tube somewhere closer to the water source to ensure you can extend your pole as long as you need so this regulator doesn't reduce your extension. Ideal steps: route the hose to the end of the brush, extend the pole as long as you think you'll need, mark the hose (or cut right there), push in the black plastic "O" on one end and shove the cut hose in and do the same with the other end of the hose, cut whatever you want if you don't need the extra hose length (I kept it) and attach to the soap dispener the same way using the adapter, and attach to your water source (for me, i attached to the end of my hose, but the instructions say to do it on the faucet). USE: The pitch of my roof is steep enough that when roofers redid the roof prior to solar installation they had a surcharge due to the steepness. So the way that I need to clean my panels without actually getting up on the roof is to set up a ladder and while standing on the 2nd to highest rung do the following: start with water turned off, extend pole to desired length, switch soap to wash (or whatever the dispensing option is), turn on water to a decent flow, scrub the furthest to reach places, reduce length and scrub again, and again and again. Flip to 'Rinse' in the soap dispenser mechanism, and repeat the steps to extend pole and decrease length accordingly. Be warned! The weight of the pole extended with the water running and any connections you may have needed to make all should be accounted for. Remember to be safe! Results: In the picture attached you can see that the bar graph was the week I cleaned. The first three days were higher than the previous week (line) because I tried spraying the panels simply with water and I was able to get around 10%. Then after the two days of cloudy weather, you can see that it jumped up to about 20% to the baseline from the previous week. When I compare to the prior year when it was fairly newly installed that is where I'm at again. Thank goodness. Lets get some more power from the sun!!!

Window Cleaning Kit (24 Feet) - Disappointing First Use I was eager to purchase this window cleaning kit, as I have very high windows that often get dirty. Normally, I have to hire a cleaning company, which is both inconvenient and expensive. I was thrilled to find this product, as it seemed like the perfect solution for cleaning my windows independently. Unfortunately, my excitement was short-lived. Upon extending the pole and beginning to wash my windows, the pole broke during the first use. While I understand that wear and tear can happen over time, this was unexpected and extremely disappointing for a brand-new product. I had high hopes that this kit would make my life easier, but it failed to meet my expectations. While other users may have a different experience, mine was subpar. I cannot recommend this product based on my experience and will be looking for an alternative. It’s disheartening to invest in a product that doesn’t deliver on its promise, especially when it breaks so easily.

I purchased the 34ft IGADPole Washing Kit to clean and reach the top of my standing seam metal roof. It gets the job done by delivering water directly to the brush for actual cleaning, not just rinsing. The water pressure is not very strong and there is a small leak at the brush head, but the flow is steady enough to be effective. The length is excellent for high areas, although it’s a bit awkward to maneuver when fully extended due to its size. The pole, locking mechanisms, and attachments feel sturdy and well made. The soap dispenser is a nice feature in theory, but it’s hard to tell whether it is dispensing anything. There is no visible indication or control that makes this clear during use. Customer service was a standout. My kit included an extra gooseneck extension that did not align correctly. I sent a photo of the issue, and the company quickly understood and sent a replacement part without any hassle. I did have to follow up once, since my initial message went to their spam folder, but once I heard back, they were very responsive and helpful. I also reached out with questions about swapping attachments and whether that might wear out the hose connections over time. They assured me it should not be a problem and even shared a helpful video showing the proper way to make the swaps. Overall, I am very satisfied with the product and the support behind it. If you need a long-reach cleaning tool that performs well and comes with great customer service, I would recommend this one.

Such a great and useful product. Also appreciate how responsive the Amazon seller is when I had some questions. Thank you for a great product!

Absolut funktional. Die Stange könnte etwas steifer sein.

I wish I had purchased this product sooner as it’s fantastic. Easily put together and reaches my top windows with height to spare. I’m a slight framed female and found the water fed pole easy to manoeuvre from my back garden top windows to my side garden top windows. My windows and frames are clean hoorah. Great purchase that will pay for itself

Good product

Super Bürstenset.
