Hi all,<br>While I'm wiring up and connecting all of the components of my solar system, should I cover the solar panels, so that the electricity being generated isn't going to fry me while I'm still wiring stuff together? I was thinking maybe to just throw a dark cover over the panels while I'm working.<br><br>Secondly, the order that I was going to work is as follows:<br>1. wire the solar panels to the charge controller (12 gauge wiring)<br>2. wire the charge controller to the batteries (12 gauge wiring)<br>3. wire the batteries together (4 gauge wiring)<br>4. and finally, wire the batteries to the inverter (4 gauge wiring)<br><br>Is this order OK, or should I do this in a different order? Thanks everyone.<br><br>
