Can a panel be left exposed to the sun when its not hooked up to anything ?
Im mounting 2 100w to my truck cap while the cap is off the truck on the ground so its easier. Just was not sure if when im finished installing and putting the cap back on the truck , the Panels would just be up there for a few days before I can get to the Connecting.
Thanks ! Hope everyone has a radical weekend !

Just as you don't worry about having an outlet with nothing connected to it, a solar panel with nothing connected to it isn't an issue...just be aware, as with the unused outlet, there is electricity at the leads, and treat it accordingly.
