“I was taught how the constant solar charge is not enough amps.“
What? In good light my panels putout 16+ amps. It’s the batteries that determine how much they will accept...bulk, absorption, float and equalization. Did you mean volts? Note batteries are full, 1.9 amps is mostly parasitic, 17+ volts.

Is your controller adjustable? I would go 14.8v with a short absorption like 5 minutes during storage. Then float at 13.2-13.4v
Otherwise I would let it run daily as programmed.
