Solar charging with some shade
I'm facing west today, so I'm getting a pretty good shadow on one of six series-connected panels. Panels are all around 135w @ 12v. Shade is on the far-left panel - about half of it: No...

My question was sort of how much you lose in front compared with how much you gain in back and what gets the most string watts with some of each
If a panel is tilted too far, but still getting sun, the diodes won't operate and its wattage will drop a LOT.
