I thought I knew the answer to this one, but wanted to run it by the list.
We are responding to a bid where the electrical engineer has designed a system with different sized Uni-solar laminates in some series strings paralelled with consistant full size strings. (this was done to work around skylights etc). We suggested that this was a poor design and will lead to "least common denomenator" performance, exacerbated by MPPT confusion. The EE responded that "the bypass diodes allow for this". Any experience with this in practice?
