Not true on the "under cover panels will do nothing". Under my ADCO cover and another cover my panels will still give a few amps on sunny days. The reason is that most covers allow some light spectrum through that the panels respond to. Just because us humans can't see through something doesn't mean certain light wavelengths are blocked. An example is the black plastic on entertainment stuff. transparent to Ir but blocks visible light.
