Frequent cleaning improves ROI but adds operational costs. Steeper angles can reduce dust accumulation, particularly in dry climates. This typically occurs after 20-25 years when panels begin to degrade and produce less electricity. Solar farms in good condition with water onsite and close to urban areas can be cleaned at approximately the following rates.
