Top hit on Google: "Solar panels generally require very little maintenance. They are very durable and should last around 25-30 years with no maintenance. The only maintenance you should need to perform is to wash them clean of dirt and dust two to four times a year, which you can easily do with a garden hose."
Sounds expensive, if panels are installed on the roof. And you can't wash off pollen by just casually spraying it with a "garden hose".
HomeAdvisor quotes $100-350 a pop. As a homeowner I'd expect the actual cost to be closer to the upper end of the range. Tradesmen won't get out of bed in the morning for less than $200. To wash windows in my house from outside only is $300.
