Solar Panel Cleaning/Maintenance
Hello All,
My question is, what kind of maintenance / cleaning do these things require(Solar Panels). I have to assume it needs some kind of care.
I have been poking around the web looking for clues, but am not having much success.
Any advise would be much appreciated.

clean dust, bird poop off panels. Tighten wire connections, add corrosion protector to connections. Check any wire insulation for fraying. That's about it.

Forest pretty much summed it up, On my previous Newell I washed mine when I wash the roof, which is about 2-3 times a year. That's it.

I clean mind when I clean the roof, but also anytime we are boondocking and need maximum output from the solar panels. Depending on how dirty they are I have seen a 20% increase in output after cleaning the panels.
