Almot, the Solar 30 or any controller with single stage but adjustable voltage for Vabs cannot know what the battery SOC is or anything about Float. It just stays at the set voltage (if the sun lets it).
It is your job to reduce to Float or not in that case. No need if it gets dark anyway. Just leave it as set, and it gets going again in the morning. Works with LFPs or any battery--you choose the Vabs per battery spec.
