Thanks for posting and more importantly the examples of shading. On a 12v system, I normally wire in parallel to keep the wattage coming in since shading varies through out the day. I have also deployed portable set ups with long cables and put the panels in sun and in those scenarios, use a series configuration to minimize voltage losses on the long cables. Cheers.
Very helpful..thanks! I have been thinking about changing the wiring of a 750 watt ground string of 3 panels for my RV. I also have 1300 watts on the roof of the trailer. I am in on and off shade at this time of year for a lot of the day and was wondering how much wiring in parallel would help. This video gives me a much better idea of how much I would gain, and it actually is not as much as I thought.

You experiment is critical for boat installations where each panel should have its own MPPT and work wih the highest VMP value panels. Thanks!
