What was Vbat when charging at 43 A? Was it held down?
FWIW, I wouldn't bother switching off one panel. It's too much of a hassle, and your buddy would be a slave to the limits of the controller. The controller will probably work fine. Nothing is really lost if it quits working.

As another reference point my 3x250W flat panels on 3/3/15 in Phoenix with a clear sky produced 43A or 600W at the controller output. This was for 1.5 hours before the clouds moved in. There were several peaks of 48A. For 2X panels this would product 28A or 400W.
A 20A controller sounds marginal.
