Basic Questions on Solar Install
I'm finally getting rid of the generator and looking to install solar. Right now I have a 2000W inverter and 450AH of lead acid batteries. I'm looking at installing (3) 175W panels and an MPPT charge ...

My 6 panels are in series. Yes, shadows will degrade,somewhat, but a little shadow isn't going to kill the entire string.
There are times in winter when my panels are tilted where I will get shadows from the other panels and the a/c cowling, but that's temporary as the sun moves (ok, the earth moves). I have enough wattage to make up for any shadow loss.
Series is great for no combiner and smaller wire. Just need to be careful with that higher voltage. It stings!
