Christopher Freitas wrote (regarding higher voltage arrays):

the losses in the wiring are less and the PV array 
will start charging slightly earlier and will work better under 
partially shaded conditions and when subjected to high ambient 
temperatures.

Hey Christopher,

Can you explain the partial shading a little better?  It seems
counterintuitive to me.  If you have all modules for a given array wired
in parallel and one module is shaded, you only loose the output on that
one module.  If you have the same array with all the modules wired in
series and you shade one, you impact on the output of the entire array
(or half the array if, for instance, two paralleled series strings).

Thanks -- Kurt Nelson
