In this scenario, you've got water and electricity readily available, seems like it would be straightforward to have small pumps and sprinklers. When the output from the panels drops below expected levels, automatically turn on the sprinklers for a bit to rinse them off.
Typically the panels need to be scrubbed every so often, it's not enough to just sprinkle water on them. While I'm sure this would be feasible, you've got an added risk in doing it over water.
