Cleaning PV panels

What are you guys using to clean the PV panels against bird strikes. I know the rain cleans etc but sometime it takes ages and these panels are on my shed so I can easily get to them from a ladder.

Yeah, wouldn't have affected the output just annoying as I'm wfh all the time and I always see that outside my office window.
Can't see the ones on the house but probably the same, it's those damn seagulls.
