The advantage of the high voltage panel is that it produces usable current from sun up to sun down and when shaded.

Can you or anyone expound on the part I highlighted in bold? How does a high volt panel make a difference in the shade? Thanks.

I believe the higher voltage series setup will produce more in marginal and shady conditions.

Hard to do a real comparison test because the equipment is a bit different. Such as a 24v panel cannot be operated at 12v. Bypass diodes are configured different etc.

But if someone has 650 to 700 watts in 12v panels in So Cal.....
