Shorted out my solar PV panel - half voltage now. Help diagnosing?

I mistakenly crossed wires hooking up my 80w panel to a battery this afternoon and screwed something up.

Spark! And now it's only putting out half the rated voltage.

I've posted details and a photo (of my failed attempt to diagnose/fix it) at EcoRenovator. If anyone can offer advice, I'd appreciate it.

I done a bad thing: need advice diagnosing shorted PV panel (output = half voltage) - EcoRenovator
