Look at this from my 140w panel
How many watts from my 140w panel

Votronic Mppt controller that’s why. You have full solar charge coming in as your display is showing.
Your panel has to output more volts than your battery to charge.
A pwm controller will not use the full potential of the panel.
An mppt controller will take the extra volts and up the amps. They can even work better in cloudy days
My panel is rated at 255watt at 37volts 8amps ish.
I’ve seen way more than 12amps from mine.

I'm displaying watts not volts.
What he's saying is the mppt controller is using the extra volts (say the 13v to 19v portion) to make extra Watts. As voltage x amps = watts
