Reconnecting solar panels after storm

My panels disconnected themselves in a storm. I want to reconnect after replacing a couple of MC4 connectors that were ripped off. The charge controller is still live and operational, but without any feed from panels. Should I simply reconnect panels or do I need to turn off charge controller and start a new set up sequence?

@gadfly

I assume you have a DC disconnect.

Your battery is already installed. The prigramming shouldn't have changed.

So connect the panels together, check your PV voltage. Switch on your breaker. Check function.

Sorry to ask the dumb questions but that is why I'm posting.. Where would I find a a "DC Disconnect" if I did have one in the system? ( Everything is as it was pre storm - connected to batteries. In fact Victron Inverter/charger presently is presently connected to shore power. )
