    Given that there isn’t too much rain to help with the cleaning, what is the typical solar panel maintenance attention that you would anticipate:
    Is solar panel cleaning just typically wetting them down with hoses, or hand scrubbing? Dust obviously and a lot of birds out there.
    Every other day, once a week, once a month?

    Solar panels are like windows. If you clean them, they let more light through.
    You don’t have to clean either, but both work better if you do…

    Depending on the climate, location and especially dust you’re exposed to, it sure don’t hurt to wash them just like the RV with mild soap and water and/or Windex etc. maybe once every week or two??? More dirt = less light = less energy harvest capacity.
