You don't need direct sun light. They collect solar radiation that is
present even without bright sunlight. Obviously you get most energy
collcted under bright direct sun conditions but even cloudy days will
collect something.

They are not economic if they lie in shadow. *You get about one tenth
of the full output. *Because they are in series a shadow onone affects
all.


They shouldn't be in series for that very reason. if they are then you
were sold a dud.

Dont spout nonsense. A number of panels are connected in series to
form a string to give the appropriate voltage. For higher powers the
series strings are connected in parallel. Typically a 3.96kW array
will consist of two 9 x 220 watt panel strings side by side to give an
18 panel array
