Series solar testing
In my case of 6 panels in series I see no drastic power loss with one whole shaded panel. But, again, that's MY case. YMMV.
On a general note, planning for shading when installing solar is kinda like planning for battery failure when choosing batteries. It just seems kinda pointless, unless you have a habit of parking in shade.
