Killed my solar panels.......
Just finished what seemed to be a week-long rewire of my TT; installing solar panels and tidying up a few issues that have bugged me since we bought it. I used black and white wire to run from the pa...

How are you measuring that voltage from the panels? Something doesn't add up, if the diodes on the panel were burnt open, there would be zero output.
I thought that RV wiring convention as to color was always: black--hot, white---ground? Good on 'ya for marking the wires, anyway. I would bet that the spark you encountered was the result of the reversed polarity at the battery. that may have affected the controller but doubtful any power greater than the panel's nominal voltage was exceeded or overcame a diode.
