Are there any advantages to connecting modules in series vs. parallel or vice versa?
Under ordinary circumstances, no. The amount of heat pumped by each module will be a function of the voltage and current delivered to it; whether this delivery is a result of series, parallel, or series-parallel connections is of little consequence. Parallel wiring does, however, offer some protection against a TE device or connection failure—with parallel TE modules there will still be some cooling capacity even if part of the circuit becomes dysfunctional. With series connections, if anything in the current path opens, all cooling power will be lost.
