You want your solar panels in series, because if that voltage drops too low, due to cloud cover, they will not put out enough to even charge. You want the higher voltage that your MPPT controller can take advantage of.
Thanks for the comment. I can easily switch to series at any time, but it seems to be working well now. I will know better once I get the battery monitor installed.
In A small 12v. System you want to have it in parallel like he does so it can charge faster , for bigger systems you can put them in series to keep up with the big draws. That’s the main difference so he did it correctly.
