Great topic! A lot of people don’t realize that cleaning solar panels the wrong way can actually reduce their efficiency or even damage them. Using men's packable straw hat chemicals, cleaning under direct sunlight, or walking on the panels are common mistakes I’ve seen. Gentle cleaning with soft water and a microfiber cloth usually works best!
