Morphology
The adjective phrase 'full of energy' is directly compositional: 'full' (completely filled) combined with the noun 'energy' yields the meaning 'having a lot of vitality.' The preposition 'of' simply links the adjective to the noun in a common, cross-linguistic construction, so a B1 learner who knows the parts will readily infer the phrase meaning.
Etymology
Full of energy creates a simple picture: imagine a battery or a balloon that is very full and has a lot of energy ready to use. That's why it means 'feeling strong and excited'.
