Use <code>nPanels_internal</code> when calculating <code>nPanelsPar_internal</code> and <code>nPanelsSer_internal</code>.
Only request <code>nPanelsPar</code> as an input for an array of collectors and
add assert to check if the total collector area is an exact multitude of a single collector's area.
