There was only one way to connect it, given the locking MC4 plugs available. Knowing the dude who installed this, I'm sure he got the polarity right.

Hi,
What is the battery voltage?
Double check to make sure input to the controller is correct polarity and correct terminals.
Voltage at the controller is 18.63 (or -18.63 depending on which probe on the micrometer.) What would happen if I just switch the panel wires leading into the controller. Will that fry something?

not much cept the panel makes volts.
Controllers are powered by the battery. Good reason to hook up battery first before panel!
Does the panel make amps?
What does this mean " I'm not getting any input from my new 100W Renogy solar panel." No LED, no display ?

Put a volt meter across the panel itself, without any connection to the controller.
Maybe a bad or disconnected diode?
So just stick a probe into each lead? (Excuse my ignorance.)
Okay, so I did that and got 18.3 (volts?) all the way up to the controller. What does that tell me?
