I was looking at window brushes and saw a load of mentions online of adding dishwasher rinse aid to the soap mix. Seems cheaper than buying lots of distilled water.
Aroogah-
Our window cleaner used to distill his own! Apparently there are places you can buy it on tap (like garages). Pet shops also sell it in fairly large amounts. Not sure how expensive it is but I usually get some from the window cleaner to for a record cleaning machine.
I'm not sure about other methods. When I'm cleaning glass after painting etc. I use a window cleaning solution but I'm either on scaffolding or ground level or the piece is on the workshop bench so no need for a long range solution.

The window cleaning things you see window cleaners using have distilled water in them. That's how they get away without wiping them afterwards.
Not sure about forum approved but the big Karcher ones all have a problem with the little plastic connectors for the lance and you need to keep a load of them and fiddle with them every time they get stuck. On the power and accessory front they are great though.
