Can unglazed transpired collectors be connected in series?

Hi, I have a building system where there is one unglazed transpired collector on the roof, and two on the same facade. The maximum number of surfaces has been reached and I found that E+ was giving me strange messages after modifying the IDD in order to expand it.

My thought is if it is possible to connect them in series? Such as the outlet of the wall collector is the inlet of the roof connector, and so on. The first collector would have the outdoor air node.

Thanks!
