Which solar panels to buy?
We've been living exclusively on solar power for over 8 years in trailers and a sailboat, and we've used and installed quite a few different types of solar panels in various configurations. In hope...

Very good!
I just have a problem with this:
When the solar panels are wired in series, then the voltage drop across all the panels is additive while the current remains constant from panel to panel. That is, if there were four 120 watt 12 volt panels producing 7 amps each, then the voltage drop across all the panels would be 48 volts (12 x 4) while the current would be just 7 amps.
I'm not familiar with saying 'voltage drop' in that context. Seems it would make more sense to drop 'drop'.
