Summer in Nampa combines the two hardest things for glass in one season: agricultural dust off dry ground and mineral-heavy irrigation running at full tilt. One is cosmetic and one is cumulative, and telling them apart determines whether a clean is worth booking now or in October.
Field dust sits on the surface and rinses away, so it looks dramatic and costs nothing to fix. Irrigation mineral bonds to the glass and accumulates every season. A window that looks bad but wipes clear is a cosmetic problem; one with a white haze that does not move is the beginning of etching, and only the second one gets worse by waiting.
Larger lots mean more zones, longer run times, and more opportunity for a head to be throwing at the house without anyone noticing. Canyon County irrigation water is hard, and a summer of daily contact is enough to start visible damage on a south or west elevation.
Nampa runs hot in July and August, and glass in direct sun flash-dries faster than it can be worked. Exterior cleaning gets scheduled early or onto shaded elevations, and any crew doing a west face at 4pm in August will leave spotting no matter what they are using.
Panel output drops as dust builds, and out here it builds fast in a dry summer. Solar cleaning uses pure water for the same reason windows do: no soap residue for the next dust load to bond to.

Dust rinses off. If a white haze remains after the glass is wet and cleaned, that is mineral deposit and it accumulates season over season.
It takes the most afternoon sun, so any water on it evaporates fastest and leaves its mineral content behind.
If it is dust, it is cosmetic and you may prefer to wait for fall. If it is mineral deposit, earlier is genuinely better because it worsens.
Yes, using the same pure water method, which avoids leaving soap film for dust to stick to.
