If the panels get wahsed on a warm day, with a squeegee and being careful not soapy water will be will be spilt, and what does get spilt will evaporate anyway, so this shouldn't be a problem.
Also, just about every rainwater capture system will have some type of water diverter, that allows the first rush of contaminated water from particles and other stuff to be discarded before filling up the tanks.

Good point, but not only that, a lot of Solar users are on Tank water as their only source of drinking water.
Washing the solar panels with soap results in contamination of your drink water.....
Like your site lots, will build a SME meter soon.
