The bifacial capability of double glass solar panels enables them to generate electricity from both direct sunlight and reflected light, increasing total energy output by 5 to 15 percent depending on installation conditions and ground reflectance.

The MPPT takes the panel voltage and converts it to a charging voltage which is higher than battery voltage in order to get current to flow into the battery, the voltage is reduced, the current goes up, and the power remains the same.
