It's pretty cool the way the unit can use your panels in series or parallel, and still pull the max-power-point power out of them..
I was gonna do series just because of the wires plus I didn't want to buy the connectors for parallel, but hey an extra plus!
Series has the advantage of lower current (higher voltage) and less amps means you can use smaller wires from the panels to the controller.. Easier to install, and cheaper too..
