Under normal conditions don't expect much more than a 5 amp charge from that 10 gauge wire. Fact of life that 30+ feet of 10 gauge has a lot of voltage drop.
If this was true, why am I seeing 11+ amps from 190 watts of solar panel (near full output) going thru 30 ft of 10 ga wire, getting thru my controller, to my digital ampmeter ?
You cannot compare apples and oranges. The solar system likely starts at a higher voltage. What I wrote is correct.
