This is possible because they have cell-level MPPT. I'd guess that even
when the sun is perpendicular to the module you'd have a [tiny] bit of
extra current from diffuse light reflected onto the module, and you'd
see more substantial gains from reflection if the sun can "see" the
reflector and PV. I don't think this would be enough to outperform a
2-axis tracker, but it's an interesting approach to maximizing kWh/kW.

Do we really buy that a reflector panel will produce more power than
just laying the solar pv at the right tilt?
