"Otherwise it's Imp and Vmp (maximum power) for MPPT for either series or parallel panels."
Thanks, yes, now I recall BFL explaining that.
So, in that case, the comparison being discussed is 12v in series (34v) vs. 24v in parallel (36v), using mppt. But if it's all about wattage, why is there 20% less output when using 12v panels in series? Are some of the watts not usable?
