Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
How often do you clean your rooftop solar panels, only when the roof is washed or more often? Does it depend on the environment, high dust/pollen clean more often? Thanks for the feedback
mostly environment for me or every 2 weeks or so......I use windex and coat them with a spray product called ICE , it repells water and dirt real well....I also use it to treat all the glass on my coach....Works Real well!!!

For me about once every two months, I used to clean them more often but found out when I did, it didn't amount to hardly any increase in amperage to the batteries. I guess if you in a dirty area or are bored and need something to do it's alright to do it more often.

If your solar panels don’t get very dusty and it rains fairly often in your area that may be enough to keep them clean. If you live in an area where leaves fall in the autumn, then you may need to clean them off the panels. It depends on the climate.
