Hey I´m very new to the solar panel world and I have 4 panels the same as the details shown in the picture below. I want to connect 3 in series and the other in parallel. When I connect the 1 panel in parallel to the other 3 in series the voltage is 73V roughly however when I only have 3 connect in series, I get 240V roughly. I don´t understand why the voltage doesn´t stay the same with the 4th panel connected in parallel. Is there a fault with the panels. I have tried different configurations of the ones in series and the one in parallel. I have also tried with 2 in series and 1 in parallel, but it always reads around 73V. I don´t have a multimeter that can measure DC amps at this current time just DC volts.
