That is about as dirty as I have ever seen my panels. When I cleaned them I still could not tell any difference in the time required to bring my batts back to total fullness. I am sure there was some delta but it was not a lot. However the fallen leaves when in Decatur Alabama make a huge difference in the charging rate. I am running 350 watts of panels with an average use rate of 40-50 amp hours per day in the winter due to using my on board factory heater.

I wanted to check my meter and see if there was any difference in output from dirty panels or clean panels but there were scattered clouds in the sky, and with the sun getting higher in the sky as I cleaned that would've affected the output somewhat. They weren't actually as dirty as I expected them to be because I only got to the desert areas a relatively short time ago. But if you set out in the desert for a month without moving I think the dust could have an effect on the output.
