Sailboat Solar Power - Series vs. Parallel & Shading

Shade on Solar Panels SUCKS! If shading is unavoidable, choosing between Parallel & Series wiring is the MOST important thing to consider. Read the Post on our site for way more info: http://bit.ly/solar-test Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for more http://bit.ly/gwtw-youtube We've had a few different solar installs over the years on our Motorhomes. We've done parallel wiring, we've done series wiring, we've had improperly installed panels that were shadowed by roof A/C units. With the extreme expense associated with our Solar Panel install on our new Sailboat we thought: We need to know the difference between parallel vs series and how shading affects the solar output. In our typical fashion we're not claiming to be experts, or do a technically perfect test...but we've setup what we think is a semi-solid real world test to see how our solar panels will perform on the Catamaran. THE RESULTS LITERALLY BLEW US AWAY!
