current doesn't taper, anytime the controller is ON you get full power based on panel operating @ batt V + vd, anytime the controller is OFF ya get Voc and no power. Less sun = less current. If I turn my 12w/1A light on for 1 hr/day I do not claim its current is 1/24A, that is ave over some time frame, on is 1A, off is zero.
During bulk at or near max voltage and current, the voltage drop will have the panel operate at a higher voltage = less current. Isc>Imp>>>>Ioc
I don't care to be in the red area, warm here and Vmp is lowered with heat.
@ 50% duty cycle panel makes full power, vd based on 4A not 2.
I'm sure you don't suggest everyone use 22awg.
