x2. Are you sure you are measuring the voltage correctly?
If you just parked it a month ago and didn't do anything to it it's not likely the battery wiring was changed. Also I can't image a normal solar panel system (several hundred watts) being able to reverse and partially recharge a battery in that direction, simply not enough power there. I know somebody that tried that on a dead battery for fun, took weeks with a standard battery charger to get any reverse measureable charge.
