That wouldn't help. The reality is that all you need to do is block the sun from them so they can't produce power. Cover the entire surface of the panel with a black garbage bag, cardboard, or something like that would do the trick while you plug or unplug the panel.

Actually nevermind. With panels in series you would need to cover the whole set.
Also since this isn't UL listed, it isn't to code and can't be integrated to the grid unless the panels and interconnects are UL listed.
