Rain X on Solar panel

Was wondering if putting an application of Rain X or similar water repellent on the solar panel would help in keeping the panel cleaner. Any thoughts on this idea appreciated. Thank you.

    I can’t possibly imagine how this could be possible.
  • Every so often you might want to rinse them off or perhaps wash them with soap and water but other than that leave them alone.

  • My panel is on the roof and the thought of keeping it cleaner without having to goon the roof got me thinking about the RAIN X application. Thanks again.
