Bill Leave the PV off for a day or so it drop the battery voltage down, yes way down to say 1 or 2 above your LVD, then at mid day turn on the PV at this point your system should go WOT and you should see the output expected. The biggest reason why you are not seeing the amps is demand and the range of a 24 volt system is pretty tight, because you are "off grid" the pv system is responce based and without demand there is just the float output, whereas connected to the grid you can always max out power. As a seperate note you can push FLA L-16 to 31 volts adjusting for temps Jerry
