Looking at the pictures, I'm curious. If I were placing those panels, I would have put the "middle" one farther away from the mushroom-shaped thing, to eliminate the possibility of a shadow. Probably just a few inches would have been enough, and it looks like there's room. Is there a reason you placed it exactly where you did?
I think partially it could be the angle of the photo. The center panel is setback almost the same amount as the others are to the side of the vent cover. I wanted to try to leave enough room if I felt I needed another panel I could add one behind the middle panel and in front of the A/C unit.
All 5 panels are wired in parallel which should help limit how much shading on any one panel would effect the system. I decided to put all 5 panels near the front of the trailer as more often than not it seems we back into spots with trees. I decided to error on the side of more panels than I thought I would need since we would rather park in more shady spots.
