Why on earth take the connectors off? Just swap the wires at the controller like I said earlier.
To labour the point:
THE BATTERY MUST BE CONNECTED FIRST THEN THE PANEL

If that is one of the cheap £40 100w panels that I linked to some time ago the cables from the panel are only 2.5mm not the 4mm that one would expect. I only got the panel for keeping my car's battery charged up while parked up but it hasn't managed to do that even - I didn't expect much charge through the screen but it has been so grey and dull here since fitting it hasn't helped at all!
