Rain water does not clean your panels: Think about it rain water doesn’t clean your car, why would it clean your panels? the answer is that it doesn’t clean your panels and using a hose to spray them off also does little to nothing to help, also spraying them off with the hose can lead to a buildup of mineral and hard water deposits which can void your warranty as well reduce the efficiency of your system.
Can you use chemicals or soap to clean your panels? No DO NOT use chemicals or soap to clean your panels, solar panels have a sensitive coating on them called the anti reflective coating, and chemicals even ones as gentle as dawn dish soap can damage that coating voiding the warranty on your system.
