He also said that the reason it got so hot is that all 3 panels were providing energy and it was "overload" and I need to remove 2 panel - I think I have hired an incompetent contractor

Ellen, so he installed a new drainback set up to the existing tank? Did he say what was wrong with the old one? As mentioned, if nothing is leaking and the pumps are turning on, it should have been okay.
 Yes it does sound like you hired someone who is not familiar with the system. If the system is not operational after the fact you should not have to pay him. It may be a big fight though.
 Three panels should be sufficient to heat an 80 gallon tank throughout the course of the day, so I would not have them removed.

I need more information to make an informed decision - I do not want to start removing panels.  but he insists that the "power" from the 3 panels is what is causing the overheating.  I don't trust this contractor and need to get someone out who knows what they are talking about.  I am totally uninformed when it comes to this.  thanks for your feedback,
Ellen
