Such ''higher voltage'' means that series connection is more often applied in grid-tied solar systemswhere: 1) the system voltage is often at least 24 volts, and 2) the solar array output voltage is fed to an inverter or chargeSee more on solarpanelsvenue ShopSolarKits
Different wattage panels have different voltage and amps outputs. The system always favors the lowest voltage or amp, which puts the larger panel on the backburner. This, in turn, reduces the overall
