Why did you go to series? Almost always makes sense to have parallel if shading is an issue. You need to check if shading covers more than one panel. Although based on your results maybe we have panels with weird specs and a weird number of cells.

@@JodieandJoe for vehicles always fine stranded wire, solid conductors are for buildings only. Make sure to crimp ferrules on the ends. I like that you use these conduits, thumbs up for that. Also, I hope you put an insulator like fibreboard between the cells. The case is conductive and if the thin blue wrap rubs trou, you have dead short on the series connections. You don‘t want that 😉.

Sure I'd recommend running as much as you can from DC power eg lights, fans, usbs, using a "house battery" which is a separate battery from the vans starter battery. Ideally Lithium and not lead acid, id go with a single 12v 100-200ah for a simple set up. Then get a small inverter 1000-2000w for AC house power for your smaller household appliances.
