I'd just attach a chair on the side and put a kerbal there to wipe off the panels from time to time.

That's fucked up. Does Mars get hit more often than Earth, due to it being closer to the Asteroid Belt?

could also be because it's atmosphere is so thin, they don't burn up either

What do you make the wipers out of? How do you wipe the solar panels without scratching them up? This isn't rain.

Make the blades out of Teflon. Or use compressed gas from a remote controlled nozzle. The point is they should have thought of a way to solve this very predictable issue, also a scratched panel is better than no panel.
