Huawei alarm 2011 String Reverse Connection. Can I just swap the MC4s now?

The short answer
No. Wait until string current is below 0.01 A, turn the DC switch off, then correct the polarity.

Plain explanation

From the Huawei manual for the SUN2000 inverter: Do NOT open the DC connectors under load. Wait until the string current is below 0.01 A (night/low light). The rest of the checklist is below; work through it in order. Installer only: DC and AC work on a live PV system is dangerous, so owners should note the code and call their installer.
