volts in series rise; amps in series do not rise
Amps in parallel rise; volts in parallel do not rise.
And watts stay the same.
Output from the panels wired in series in theory will be:
55.14 volts and 8.82 amps.
In real life, you may see 55.14 volts and 6 or 7 amps at solar noon.
In the morning you may see 55.14 volts and 1 or 2 amps.

So I totally get the wiring now! This looks easy. Now lets talk amps. Each panel is 18.38v/8.82 amps. Do the amps triple like the voltage? Adding up to a theoretical high of 26.46 amps? Or do the amps stay an 8.82?
Thanks,
