How do I keep my solar panels clean?

If they are installed on a tilt, or do not live in an arrid zone you shouldn't have an issue. Standard rain will clean them off as often as they need to be cleaned. If they're flat, the lip on the frame will keep water on them which, when it evaporates, leaves dust - in that case, honestly, all you need to do is hose them down. – Meeka Jun 13 at 13:03
@Meeka this isn't the place for answers - these are just example questions to scope the site. Vote up the questions that you'd like to see the site address. Vote down questions that you think should be out of scope. If you want to answer this question, please do come over to Sustainability and answer it there – EnergyNumbers 21 hours ago

There are many, many monitoring services available. And many state incentives require monitoring on PV projects in order to award grants. Check out locusenergy.com – Meeka Jun 13 at 13:05
