When a solar panel is not connected, it has voltage but no current flow. The voltage will become heat in the solar cells and radiate from the panel until it dissipates. The battery will remain full until the load is reconnected, but not using the panels for extended periods while allowing them to remain in the sun could damage your system.
When not connected to a device, a solar panel will still absorb sunlight but won’t have anywhere for the energy to go. It has voltage, but no current is flowing. Because the voltage has nowhere to go, it will become heat in the solar cells and radiate from the panel until it dissipates.
A problem that a DIY solar power enthusiast may someday face is to find a solar panel [or a whole solar panel array] has good output voltage – but does not produce any power when connected to a charge controller. Video related to this blog post: Solar Panel makes no power! But has Voltage? Solar Panel makes NO POWER! but has VOLTAGE?
If you have an MPPT charge controller connected to the solar panel, it might sweep the panels for MPPT (max power point) and show the solar panel voltage drop as you normally expect when the panels start supplying power – yet in this case, no current flows into the battery. So the charge controller is unable to charge the battery.
