The Solar Boost™ display only shows 4 amps of “output charge current” during the middle of the day when we normally see 7.5 amps. Is this an indication of a problem?

The Solar Boost™ charge control is a multi-stage battery charger and operates in three modes: “bulk”, “acceptance” and “float” (see Solar Boost™ manual for additional details). The amount of current the batteries can take are affected by things such as temperature, battery state of charge, and more. The Solar Boost™ compensates for these factors when giving the batteries charge current, therefore, even during the middle of the day when your Solar Stik™ is capable of producing 8 Amps, the Solar Boost™ display will only show what is actually being put into the batteries.
