Rain gets it.

Not worth the effort for the few extra watts.

unless it's covered in thick sludge or dust, the rain takes care of it.

I cleaned mine with a squeegee mop and dishwashing liquid in the morning, was full of duck poo, didn't want to shock cool it (I have a reasonably flat roof so it was easy) got an extra 200w give or take, which on my little system is 6%
