I am installing a small 40 watt panel to keep a battery charged. Have not yet received charge controller so don’t have it hooked up. Will it hurt the panel to be exposed to sun open circuit for a few days?

It won’t hurt the panel, it will just have a photovoltaic reaction and produce a protential at the open terminals of the panel (for safety reasons, do not touch them)
