If using a controller w/o float, if you drew AH from the fully charged battery and there was still sunlight, I would expect the charge to (resume in order to) keep up. Albeit at 14.4v, not 13.2.
Yes, it would resume if battery or loads would demand. But you don't want to keep fully charged battery at 14.4V.
