Well it looks like I will never be winterizing my pressure washer again.
Also washing solar panels you need raw power. The tiny 2hp 240v powered 1,500 psi 1.5gpm pressure washer is useless. My little 7hp 207cc generac pressure washer spits out 2.3gpm at various pressures depending on which nozzle I use 1,500 to 2,400psi. It's respectable but slow.
But I think I will replace it eventually with a honda 13hp gx390 powered pressure washer and I may even offer a solar panel power washer service and see if that goes anywhere.
Or I might even experiment with running both in parallel, get around 7gpm at around 2,200psi.
