Can I go through car wash with solar panels on my roofrack?

Can I install them in such a way that this would be ok? Very protected and secured wiring, controller indoors, etc.? Or is hand washing a sacrifice I would have to make?

  • I am no expert, but something that stands up to rain showers is probably not built to handle the high pressure water from a car wash. I would say that hand washing and low water pressure for rinsing is your only option.
