Well that's really odd because the dude in the video I linked showed all his work and came to the opposite conclusion.
In my experience with my 2100 watt system on my sailboat there obvious issues with shading when the boom or mast would cast a shadow on the panels. There was sometimes perceivable reduction in production when the shrouds would cast a shadow on the panels but considerably less.
I have three pairs of panels each on their own Victron 100/50 MPPT. I've put a different colored rectangle around each pair. I also put a little blue rectangle around the shadow that the boom is casting on the yellow pair. Usually I would swing the boom out and out of the way of the panels to maximize production during the day. But that little shadow right there would probably cause the yellow pair to produce half as much as the red pair.
You can also see a thin shadow from the shroud across each panel in the green pair. That probably reduced production by 10 to 15 percent. It's always hard to say in these circumstances, but I could definitely notice a difference as the boat swung around on anchor and the shadows went away from the panels.
