Mold of roof issue
I am having a problem with mold on my roof, googleing provides many remedies and the most common one is plain ol vinegar. I don't have a problem on on roof and a hand sprayer but the other roof is too steep to walk on and would require D-rings and climbing apparatus and I don't want to be a statistic so I am think something that would work with the pump on my power washer or garden sprayer.
Thoughts ol wise one?

Mold is caused by not enough sun on that area. Simply rotate your house so as to get more sunlight on that side.

I have it on my roof too. Since I have a 12/12 pitch, I am not climbing on it though.
I am counting on acid rain to clean it off!  Seriously though, it is sixteen years old. I am not really counting on a whole lot more life from it. Tom W

I'd think you'd have better results with a dilute mixture of bleach rather than the vinegar.

Good luck getting rid of it. You probably never will. I own a pressure washer service, and speaking with others in the field, you will find that you will NEVER really be able to get rid of it completely. It might look like it's gone, but it will be back in a few years. The only way to get rid of it is to remove the infected area (new roof). Good luck!

Some shingles are impregnated with something to prevent mold and moss. I'm not sure what it is, but maybe there's a way to get that in some form that can be applied to your shingles. Maybe Tom W knows what I'm thinking about.
