These panels are not currently in use. I am storing for planned future use, but it is amazing to see the difference between 0 degrees and 80 degrees.

My panels on the roof at 23 degrees are probably closer to zero!

Can't wait for PTO and I can turn on the system and then go clean them

A friend of mine lives in Florida and said it's really bad. It doesn't just rinse off. Use the least abrasive soap you can get.
Bad here in East Texas as well. Mine need cleaning but as covered up as they are I have to say I haven't seen any significant production loss. I have one array that is new and the production between it and the older array track very closely. I bought one of those chamois on a stick things for washing cars and was going to use some Dawn unless someone has a better suggestion. Mine are on the shop roof with maybe a 1:12 pitch so virtually flat.
