Hi guys, busy planning my solar installarion on my current 2x RCT Axpert 5k inverters. The inverter spec for VOC is 145VDC. I want to install Canadian Solar 410w panels 2 strings with 3 panels in series. The 410w panel VOC is 53.6V, thus the total VOC of the panels in series will be 160.80VDC. Now my question being is, is it advisable to go as high on VOC on the panels with max on inverter only 145VOC?

No, by all accounts MPPT voltage limits are a hard limit. Go 2S3P.
