On a fairly consistent day, weather wise, I can see this, but at what point would it become too demanding of one's attention?
IMO Jim was wrong about that anyway. With the gizmo all you do is select the output voltage. During the day you might lower it to a float voltage if you think it has been at Vabs long enough.
You have no control over the input with the solar panel except manual tracking. Mother Nature decides how much insolation you get which is what decides the panel output/gizmo input.
The spread between input and output voltages will determine the max amps from whatever the output watts is, which Mother Nature sets with the panel output/gizmo input watts-----or something like that! :(
then the battery acceptance rate will affect the actual amps to the battery out of that max amps the gizmo can do at the time.
