Your solar panel’s wiring an circuitry is at risk. Keep spares in a grounded metal box, like a tool box. Spare circuits, not spare panels. ;-)

We are getting an off grid system. Grid ties will get fried along with everything else.

The diodes will be at risk. You will need away to desolder and solder them. A good voltmeter with diode function will be helpful. A greater concern will be the FETS in your inverters.
