Remember Gale did a test last year - check the thread details
His results proved for his panels in a series conection worked better for shade tolerance. Some panels, not all do indeed work better in a series mode when it comes to shade tolerance as compared to a parallel connection.
For me a series connection supplying a higher voltage thus less current and lower line losses along with a proper MPPT controller is the only way to go.
Some folks prefer older less expensive technology and the PWM style controllers
To each their own.....
