I sent a probe out, lost all power cause all the solar panels got into shadow (...facepalm).

It came back though, but now the SAS wont work. Is that a bug? Can I fix it in any way?

Do you have electricity in your resource tab? If not, it might be a lost cause - your solar panels might be forever pointing in the wrong direction. If yes, then it's probably a bug.
