Pianotuna - I saw that as well on my battery banks but I would see a 0% to 50% SOC battery wants to use around 15-17AMPS of DC charge for 15-20 minutes or so and then start tapering back as the state of charge gets better.
It appears to me once you get past that first initial high charge point then the solar panels will work for you like gang busters getting to the 85% to 90% charge state in a 3-4 hour time period...
It appears they are wanting to get their panels to give 8 times more output using the magnifying type design panels. That would take the usable 5-6AMPS you see coming from the present day solar panels go to 40-48 DC AMPS if you can believe what they are wanting to get.
Sounds like alot to get to me based on my simple understanding of how the solar panel things works......
