Does shade on one panel drag down the whole array, or just that panel?
I've got two 200W Renogy panels wired in series on the roof of my Sprinter. Works brilliantly in full sun, but I park under trees fairly often and I'm starting to wonder how much I'm actually...

Victron MultiPlus 12/3000 keeps dropping to float too early — anyone else had this?
