TTT you're still an amateur.

Ya recon ... you should have seen the 200w panel's connection box after I re-wired the 2 panels from parallel to series. 

If I did not have software to check the volts when I got back down, and back up that fast, that panel would not have lasted much longer.

EDIT: Panel was piping hot, burnt my hand, the other panel "cool" in the midday sun in comparison.

Root cause ... haste.

The rules I learnt that day:
Rule 1: It is not recommended to alter anything on a blistering hot Saturday midday, when you have to SIT on a metal roof, on top of a double storey house.
Rule 2: Even less advisable to take a break on said hot day, in a air-conditioned room.  (you have to go back up)
Rule 3: And it is never ever advisable, to quench ones thirst, with one Castle Light whilst sitting in the air-conditioned room. (false sense of completion)
