I don't know of any way to add bypass diodes to a panel, which is where they go.
I think in this case the bypass diodes would have to be installed in the wiring, most likely in the combiner box. I have read a little about it online and if I understand what I read correctly, the best way is to have panels with multiple bypass diodes built in, but putting them on the panel output is better then no bypass diodes at all when wiring in series.
If I am misunderstanding this more input or corrections to my thoughts are welcome.
Thanks!
