Hi Kevin, don't worry, it won't be an issue. My setup runs 4 arrays at 107VDC, and 2 arrays at 120VDC, having them in parallel does the job and connected to a 150/100 mppt.

I would like to see the labels of the panels, or at least model numbers for both.

Paralleling strings of 3 series panels, with strings of 4 panels does not look like a good idea.

More information needed.....
