Cleaning the solar panels

I have solar panels on the roof of my trailer which is 13ft 5in tall.My wife does not want me on the roof anymore. How can I keep the panels clean because it gets dirty quite quickly?
  • Maybe use a stepladder (or even scaffolding) and a car wash brush with a long handle, something like this (just an example of the general kind of product)?

    I have a brush somewhat like that for general washing of my RV. It sure is a lot easier than a sponge or rag in the hand and a ladder for washing the sidewalls!
  • That's a tough one. Get your wife to do it (LOL!), or find some kid. I've found rain is what makes them dirty.
  • Does it rain much where you live? The rain should take care of it.

    If not, so you have a truck wash near you?
