Battery - lead acid? baking soda and water to get rid of any corrosion

I have pressure air & water, the abrasive action cleans the stuck on grime off wheels. Works really well on stubborn dirt. 40psi continuously or 90psi for shorter bursts, could increase to 120psi if needed. 0.5L of water per minute, about 90amps using 3 compressors.
They're actually "solar" panels. If you have only one it could be said you have a solo (as in one) solar panel, not a pair or three.

Yes, they are "solar" panels but more specifically they are actually photovoltaic panels. "Solar" panels include those that heat our hot water.

I will add:
When other people do a search on "Solar Panels" to resolve their problems, discussions with 'Solo' are not found.
Which is sad as 'Solo' creates a dead discussion never to see the light of day, which could have informative information for future reference.

Hmm
This conversation got out of hand due to a spelling mistake !! Watch that auto correct it plays tricks !!
As said use a bucket and soft broom, with a bit of detergent. I just use the hose at home. The bird poo is the worst but comes off OK with a broom. Previously a person said to polish them with car polish to make it easier ! Hmm not worth the effort IMHO.

We once had a member, who was a professional solar panel cleaner, before he retired
He said that the best way, was to use demineralised water, as normal water left streaks
I just give mine a wash with the garden hose, and if I see any solids, I will (like Peter and Jaahn have already said), also use a brush
