This is by no means something I know much about, but I understood that disconnecting a panel causes it to heat up from sunlight to the point that it can reduce its useful lifespan.
- jeffbee 5y agoThat is somewhat true of exotic panels that nobody uses for utility-scale power, but it's not a necessary outcome of disconnecting a source from the grid. It doesn't have to be disconnected from everything. When removed from the grid, they can just be shorted.
