I know you will need to clean them at least twice a year as the dirty and stuff will reduce their efficiency.

BC Hydro says it'll take 20-25 years for a solar panel install to pay itself off at current rates so I'd generally say it's not worth it if we also consider opportunity cost (what could $3k do in an investment account).
