I would be more worried about the connectors of your panels when not in use accidentally coming in contact with something connecting a circuit and causing damage or a fire. Take large opaque cloths and completely cover each solar power panel in the system. Turn on the voltage meter and set it to measure direct current voltage dc.

The solar cell you have installed provides about 1 3rd of an amp charging rate. Touch the metal part of the red. It doesn t matter if panels have leads disconnected as the voc will be present at the shielded tips but no current can flow absolutely nothing happens. Excellent question and i cannot for certain tell you the answer except to say that i leave solar panels out in the sun regularly not connected to anything and they have not developed any damage.

Locate any water leaks in the pipes of the solar panel. How to safely disconnect solar panels step 1. There is not a problem. Let the panel dry completely before you start to repair the leaks.

Leaving solar panels disconnected for 6 months. Turn off any pump connected to the solar panel. Unless you have some older sunpower brand panels there is really no harm in disconnecting the panels.
