If however an entire panel in a series string is shaded, the string will output a fraction of its power. Advantage goes to parallel.

Except these large panels have bypass diodes that divide the panel in three sections. In parallel a small amount of shade will pretty much take out that panel completely. Series does not shut down the entire array for a few cells getting shade.
