    I'm surprised they wouldn't\t have included a mower deck on the tractor as well to control the weeds. a single pass between the panels and the area would be cleared as well as the panels cleaned
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    Considering that the panels would be wet right after they are washed, I don’t think that mowing at the same time is the best idea. The debris from mowing would be likely to stick to the wet panels.
