My solar panels were filthy with water spots and ash from a bonfire I had last week and had just started sprinkling rain.
So I grabbed a mobile home brush on an extension paint pole and a squirt bottle with water and a little Blue Coral car wash-wax maby 8-to-1.
Panels were wet so gave each panel 2-3 squirts of soap mixture and proceeded to scrub in perpendicular directions 4-6 panels at a time then rinse and repeat until all 34 panels were cleaned
The rain further rinsed panels into the evening the next day I was amazed in how immaculate they looked I figured the rain would help litigated water spotting but by far exceeded my expectations.![Smiling face with heart-eyes :heart_eyes: 😍](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60d.png)

The last time I cleaned them I used the same squirt bottle same brush and dawn dish soap with water cleaning 2 panels at a time and rinsing and they spotted like crazy. ☹
I believe the key component here is the rain. Thoughts?
