There was some very dusty rain over the weekend so anyone with a solar panel should have a look at it for dirt covering panel surface

Good idea Dave.

My screens were filthy on Monday when I took them off.

It wasn't the rain, it was the sand deposit. Apparently we had sand fall on us from the Saharan desert. If you saw the state of my van on Sunday morning you would have thought some bugger had tried to make a sand castle out of it.

There would have been a layer of it on the solar panels, but the heavy rain last night would have washed it off
