Here's a wild notion - if you're o-t-g perhaps it is best to not clean your
modules all summer! I increased my array size last winter (doubled it) and
this, my 1st summer, I've found that I'm in float for at least 4 hours/day so I
decided to not clean my modules here in the dusty mountains and they are
getting VERY dirty and power is down about 20% and dropping. My point is that
my modules now have "Ray Bans" on, although they don't look cool I expect a
slight reduction in module degradation over the years this way. I save a wee
bit of time, water and effort in return for longer module life and the down
side is what, I still can make more power than I can use? I must admit that
looking at filthy modules is not easy and goes against all my solar upbringing
but I'm adapting quickly to one less chore in this "simple living" life!
