It's not really about specific voltages or current, it's about power delivered to the battery.??
Voltage * current = power?
Power (Wattage) is the measure of work. Ie 746w = 1 horse power
You could have 10000 amps & .000001 volts and it's not really anything or vice versa 10000 volts and .0000001 amps and all you got is static electricity

What's surprising, though, is that when you read about mppt, everybody talks about how it converts the extra voltage to current.? Nobody talks about how it gets more power by reducing the current from the panel, which increases the voltage.

So the majority of the extra power produced by the mppt controller was due to the power point tracking algorithm pulling a better optimized current that generated more watts.
That's precisely the point of MPPT.
