Will 5 volts over VOC kill my power station?

[aussiesam]

I recently bought an old ecoflow river and I've been looking everywhere locally for 12volt panels. River accepts 12V, up to 25V VOC.. I found one local seller who has 12V panels, they are rated for 24V Max power, 30.4V VOC. I know this is 20% higher , but I'm wondering if there is a way to make these work, or perhaps a way to lower the voltage just enough for them to work.

I'm in very hot weather if that matters , will never operate below 25 degrees celsius

Looks like you found 24v panels. 12v panels wouldn't go to 30.4VOC.

If it were me I would try looking for 12v panels.
Most of the ones I have looked at are 17v mpp, 20 - 21VOC

Yes. VOC Is a HARD LIMIT. Not a suggestion.
