My solar panels now have shade during parts of the day so I'm wiring them in parallel to maximize output when some are shaded.
Having moved into a more wooded area I need to wire my solar panels in parallel instead of in series. Wired in parallel the panels are more forgiving if one becomes partly or fully shaded. This allows the others to still work to their maximum potential.
When they are wired in series you can increase the total voltage output but none of the panel in the series can be shaded or they all suffer.
Being in the woods now I have lots of trees that shade some panels at some times and other panels at others. Changing to a parallel wiring was greatly needed.
