solar panels with diodes between each cell
Hi folks, I stumbled across these panels today: https://ae-solar.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/AE_P6-36_155W-175W.pdf They apparently have diodes between each and every cell which gives them...

Bypass diodes for shading of parallel panels have limited advantage. Each shaded cell loses 0.5V + the diode loss. So that panel is under performing other non shaded parallel panels perhaps significantly.
Definitely better performance with each cell having a bypass diode and a single panel or series panels.
