With higher current flowing through the system, you have more I²R losses, which translates to heat and inefficiency. Conversely, raising the voltage can cut down these losses considerably. Consider the likes of Tesla or SolarCity; their commercial installations often shoot for.

Think of your solar array as a water supply system - voltage acts like water pressure, while current represents the flow rate. Both must work in harmony to power your devices effectively.

Estimate the ideal charging current (Amps) for your battery based on its capacity (Ah) and charging rate (C-rate or percentage of capacity). For safety and longevity, most batteries use 10–20% of Ah rating.

The real cause is often a limit in the path from battery to inverter. It can be a strict low-voltage cutoff, a surge that exceeds the BMS limit, or a simple voltage drop in the cables. The inverter can click off when a compressor.
