Question Target 24K Watts and Temps

I am new to the EG4 24K solar Mini split and have a couple questions.

Scenario: 

With typical mini splits I usually target ~32-35F on the 410a gauge, and look for ~55F air at inside unit. (Basically condensing no frost)
I am not seeing this with this EG4 24K running solar only...
With ~1950watts (Varies 1800-2200) from PV showing in the phone app I am seeing 44F+ on the 410a and 60-63F internal air.
** F.Y.I. there is another 18K mini split in the same building that is showing the ~32f 410a  and 56F inside air, so pretty sure it is not the environment etc.
I tried removing a small amount of refrigerant to bring the 410a gauge temp down and it did a bit (~37F) but internal air stayed about the same?
** I expected it to track better...

Questions:

1. Is this just not enough solar to get the compressor to full power?  
    * Do I need another PV panel (currently 6 x 365 watt panels)

   a. Assuming low wattage, what is the minimum wattage I need to get full pressure?

 

2. What are typical 410a / Line/ and Internal temps for this unit?

    ** Am I expecting too much?

 

Info: 

Phoenix AZ. ~103F Sunny
1500 ft single room building.
Existing 18K mini split, adding an EG4 24K to bring up the tonnage.
