[RE-wrenches] PV scum from Dixie Fire

[Bill Battagin]

Dearest wrenches,

             Trying to get back in the saddle here in the Plumas Natl. 
Forest...We are just coming out of 7-8 weeks of threat of fire from the 
Dixie fire in NE CA....has been life changing, three of our communities 
were lost or severely impacted.

             But many of my customers did the old "sprinkler on the 
roof" trick and left for evacuation so much ash and (well)water on 
panels for weeks at a time.  Depending on a variety of factors some 
folks have not been able to see the PVs clean up with a simple water 
spray and I've been very hesitant to recommend anything like soap, soft 
brushing etc.  Will the eventual several inches of rain remove ash and 
minerals left from well water?, its pretty backed on.

             I'm looking for proven suggestions and/or experiences.  No 
structure loss here but fire took part of our trees/property.  Of course 
some of the system arrays are easy access and some are on two story roofs.

Thanks,

Bill
