Cleaning my panels today and out of curiosity measured the effect of shade on the panels. The Bypass Diodes in Solar Panels thread in the Reference Material section gives a very basic technical explanation. This post shows the "real world" effect.
The purpose in showing this information is that to convey why it's important 1) how the panels are wired and 2) why it's important to consider the effect from shade.
Lots to think about when designing a solar system!
