Why are photovoltaic panels even and odd numbers

Series vs Parallel Question with odd number of panels

Victron explicitly states that over-paneling provided Voc and PV input currents aren''t exceeded. This can allow for an array several times larger than the output can support.

Parallel-series connection of an odd number of solar cells

Uneven number of panels on 250/70 MPPT in 2 strings

What is being spoken of is PV strings being connected in parallel. If one string is more powerful, power will flow between the strings due to the potential difference.
