The Tucker Solar Boost 27-foot Carbon Fiber Water-Fed Pole Kit with Alpha Solar XL Brush is purpose-built for solar panel cleaning - not a repurposed window-cleaning brush. The 5-section carbon fiber pole extends to 27 feet, collapses to 5 feet, and feeds water through the brush so a single operator can clean residential and commercial solar arrays from the ground without setting foot on the roof.
Built for
Residential rooftop solar arrays, commercial flat-roof solar farms, ground-mount solar fields, agricultural and industrial solar installations, and any solar cleaning contractor who needs a purpose-built water-fed pole with manufacturer specs for pH-neutral DI water rinsing.
Why a solar-specific pole and brush
Solar panel manufacturers void warranties when abrasive brushes, hard tap water, or detergents are used on the glass surface. The Solar Boost system is purpose-built around three solar-specific design choices: (1) carbon fiber pole sections that stay rigid at 27 feet without flexing, (2) the Alpha Solar XL hybrid bristle brush that scrubs without shedding or scratching, and (3) a quick-connect water feed that runs pure DI or RO water at low pressure so panels rinse spot-free without the silica scale that mineral-rich tap water leaves behind.
Alpha Solar XL brush
Crafted exclusively for solar panel cleaning, the 17-inch Alpha Solar XL brush features long, full bristles in a hybrid configuration: the outer bristles match the Tucker Glide brush (boar-bristle scrubbing properties without shedding or short life), and the inner bristles are thicker and more aggressive for heavily soiled panels. The brush weighs only 1.7 lbs, has one full-length rinse bar that extends the entire width plus 4 pencil jets, and ships with a quick-release swivel designed to fit Tucker #1 clamps.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use tap water with the Solar Boost system?
You can, but you should not. Solar panel manufacturers specify pure water (DI or RO, 0-10 ppm TDS) so the panels rinse spot-free without mineral residue. Tap water leaves silica scale that progressively reduces panel output and may void some warranties.
How much pressure should I run through the pole?
The Solar Boost is a low-pressure water-fed pole - typical operating pressure is 40-60 PSI from a DI tank, RO/DI cart, or municipal feed with a regulator. High pressure is not needed and may damage the brush seals.
What is the difference between the Alpha Solar XL and the standard Alpha Solar brush?
The XL brush is 17 inches wide for faster coverage on commercial panel arrays. The standard Alpha Solar brush is narrower and better suited to residential rooftop work where the operator is navigating around panel obstructions.
Will the 27-foot pole reach a typical two-story commercial roof?
Yes. At 27 feet of extended reach plus the operator's height, the Solar Boost reaches most two-story commercial roof-mount arrays from ground level. For three-story or taller commercial buildings, step up to a 33-foot or 45-foot Tucker pole.
How do I store the pole between jobs?
Collapse to the 5-foot transport length, drain residual water from the rinse bar by holding the brush vertically, and store in a padded carry bag (sold separately) to protect the carbon fiber sections.
