Maintenance
The solar panel on your Gateway or Node will perform well even with dust on it.
However, you can keep the panel charging optimally by periodically cleaning any
bird droppings, heavy dust, dirt, snow, leaves, or insect nests or webs from the
solar panel. The frequency of cleaning will depend on your installation, but at
least once a year. Those near roads or railroad tracks, for example may collect
more dust and dirt than those in the center of a field. Use a soft, damp cloth to
remove any debris from the solar panel.
