Solar Panel Half Cell Discussion
Half Cell or Half Panels are ramping up production and I wanted to know how they work and are they suitable for a RV. I'm not an expert but this is what I found. Lots of sites have the basic half cell...

Hi CA Traveler,
My panels have diodes between each cell. Unfortunately they are no longer made. (Unisolar US-60) They also do not have any glass.
I chose series/parallel for an input voltage to a BlueSky MPPT controller of 33 volts.
There is one German company that does make panels with diodes between each cell. Unfortunately they never replied to my query about purchasing from them.
If I were starting out, I'd look carefully at these;
