OP, imo you would benefit from reading the Handy Bob Solar blog. Some people here have quibbles with his opinions, but his articles will help answer some of your system questions.

You could have poor installation, for instance. If the controller is a long way from the batteries. Or poor connections, or undersized wire, etc etc.
