Solar panels

Does anyone coat their solars with a solution?

not something I have tried, but a product like Rain-X might prolong time between cleans? If it works on a glass windscreen it should work well on a glass solar panel?

I think I have some, so might give it a go on one panel and see how it compares (looks wise, at least) to another after a while? (got 9 panels on the roof, so plenty to experiment with :D )
 
Wash with Car shampoo on Leifheitt Extending Pole Window Mop and then rinse with a second Mop Head. Then wait for the rain to complete the job ...

I’m more than sure the Wet and Forget stuff nackerd my old solar panels the were fine until I started putting it on the roof they went a kind milky sheen like a chemical reaction. I’m sure it did something to them they were fine until I used it. Better to air on the side of caution.
