Cleaning system for solar panels

An apparatus for cleaning a solar panel, the apparatus comprising:

• a brush body having a width approximately equal to the solar panel;
• a plurality of brush heads each attached to the brush body and having bristles extending away from the brush body, the bristles of each of the plurality of brush heads cooperating to form a contact plane where the bristles contact the solar panel;
• a fluid manifold attached to the brush body, the fluid manifold comprising one or more pipes interconnecting a plurality of bulkheads, the plurality of bulkheads comprising:
• a hose bulkhead that connects to a hose to establish fluid communication between the fluid manifold and a fluid supply;
• and
• a plurality of nozzle bulkheads in fluid communication with the hose bulkhead;
• and
• a plurality of nozzles each connected to one of the plurality of nozzle bulkheads such that each nozzle bulkhead has attached thereto:
• a corresponding forward-facing nozzle of the plurality of nozzles, the corresponding forward-facing nozzle extending beyond a front edge of the brush body and emitting pressurized fluid onto the solar panel;
• and
• a corresponding rear-facing nozzle of the plurality of nozzles, the corresponding rear-facing nozzle extending beyond a rear edge of the brush body and emitting pressurized fluid onto the solar panel.
