"I asked the same question of an engineer at Northern Arizona Wind and Sun as specifically applied to my 6 Kyocera 140W panels and Morningstar MPPT controller. He said that the parallel wiring was the most efficient in so far as partial shading of a portion of one or more panels or totally shading one or more panels for my installation. The down side is higher line losses and higher costs for heavier cabling."
