Series, parallel, optimizer, miniinverter, wtf?

We’re on half acre in the Phoenix az area with flood irrigation so we are able to enjoy large trees around us, but we still get plenty of sun in the valley of the sun.

I think with our roof facing directions, angles, and trees shading different areas at a time that running panels in a series will not work.

Anyone have thoughts on parallel strategies, optimizers, or
Miniinverters?

Are you trying to grid tie and back feed or are you trying to go off-grid? Microinverters are for doing grid tie and require a grid connection to operate on top of having to buy a module for every panel or 4.

Tigo optimizers.

No intent to feed back to grid
