Updated 9 July Just a note for folks in a similar situation. My usual procedure in a normal summer here with my set-up with the Eco-Worthy controller (adjustable Absorb and adjustable Float ) is...

Yes there are controllers with remote temp comp and also those with the temp comp in the actual controller (which you mount near the batteries anyway so with any luck they will be In similar ambient temps.)
BUT the OP has nothing to do with temp comp voltages as such. It is about long sunny days for days and days in a row that gets your batteries full early enough in the day that you can't wait till dark for them to go into Float naturally overnight. You have to get them to Float during the rest of the daytime after they have done enough time at Vabs to get to full SG.
Only way to get that right is by trial and error to learn how much time at Vabs that would be.
Another thing I could do is just stop twirling my panel and leave it facing South all day. This would delay the time the batts get to full and leave only a short time before dark so the Float setting didn't matter. I prefer to do the twirl and get them up earlier in case the afternoon turns cloudy. You just can't trust that weatherman!
