What happens if you blanket an entire panel in a series or parallel array?

In parallel you will only kill the production of that panel. For 3 panels, one covered you will still have 2/3 production. In parallel each panel contributes separately. Think of three hoses filling a bucket vs series where the three hoses are connected together with a single discharge into the bucket at a higher psi. The flow is limited by the smallest diameter hose in series where in parallel each hose can fill at their own rate.
OK, using the hose analogy, if you have three hoses in series and you step on ANY location ALL current stops.

Yes, that's essentially what you will see in the videos I posted and what I experienced myself testing both.Big drop in production. In full sun without shade series is better but not by much. In shade I had much better results with parallel. My results were pretty spot on with what the Wynns and Per found going through the same exercises in those videos.
