No feed to solar controller from panel

Controller all light hip but nothing coming in

Cant fix it as on site but when I start digging any suggestions
 
Measure the voltage from the solar panels with a multimeter - It should read 20 -23V DC
 
Check for a fuse where the cable comes through the roof or between there & the controller.

Just follow the wires and hopefully you'll find a lose fuse that just need pushing back in or a lose connector.
 
Have you got a Multimeter?. If So Measure the voltage across the Input to the controller. (wires from the Solar Panels) With pretty much any sun or light at all you will record from 15 to 24 Volts. No Voltage means no output, Most have a Fuse in the line somewhere. If that all checks out, then the problem will almost certainly be the solar controller. I had a 20W rated one which blew it brains when I put the second 100w panel on!. With the week we just had???????. I have a Volt/Amp setup on the output from the panels now and I have seen well in excess of 24V last week!.
