Good idea... you're running 24v then to the controller...? And a 12v battery bank?
With that controller you could do all 6 in series ( which I do). Look forward to the pics.
I'm reading 33 volts and change off each pair, loaded. So yes, I coulda parrelleled them all.
My thinking was, since just a partial shading on one panel can take out a series set, 3 series sets would help eliminate shading as a problem, while still providing the mppt controller with enough voltage to do it's thing.
