Solar panel question
I didn't want to hijack another thread so figured I'd post a new one. I see where there is differences in the output of one kind of panel from another kind when partly shaded. My question is, what ...

Thanks for the replies.
Even with a background in electronics solar, for some reason, confuses me. Maybe I'm just over thinking it. I know everything I read prior to finally buying a system, and that was a lot, said shade will lower the output. And when I tested mine before I installed it it proved true, voltage stayed fairly constant but amperage dropped considerably. Maybe I just mis-understood what was being said in the other post about bypass diodes preventing loss of power if a panel is only partly shaded. I know that's not what I saw with mine.
