RE: Solos Solar Array production stats - November

Here is a good article that explains the difference:

You probably don't have partial shade issues, but most people have trees that at one point of the day could shade some of the panels. Also I didn't see it in this article so tech might have improved since I last researched the two for my solar but they used to say that in Pacific Northwest with lots of shady days micro-inverters squeezed out a bit more production:
It seems the main difference is now this:
"Because of how the solar panels are wired together, if there is an issue with one panel in the string, the energy production of all the panels strung together will be impacted. For example, if one panel in a string is shaded and produces less energy, all of the other panels in the string will match that shaded panel. "
