Not sure what PPT is?
Vmp and MPPT only applies when demand is equal to or greater than what the PV array can supply. It is during this time that the MPPT algorithm is functional and the controller is attempting to supply all that it can.
At demands less than full output, the controller is no longer looking for Vmp, but for a voltage that will cause the array to supply the necessary not maximum power.
On most controllers there are adjustments for the transition points between MPPT, Abs and Float on the output side using battery voltage and current.
