MPPT Charger and Input Voltage

I have a 48V battery storage system (off grid) and an array with 2 panel strings. Each string is comprised of 2 35V panels, for total array voltage of 70V. Would I be able to pull more power out of this array if I reconfigured it into strings of 3 panels for nominal voltage of 105V. My charger can handle up to 150V. The theory being that there would be more headroom for the charger to find the maximum power point that is still comfortably above the charging voltage of the batteries (59-62V).
Thanks for any info.

I think you may not have enough 'head room' above the charging voltage. What charge controller do you have! If you do strings of 3 you might have issues with the VOC on cold mornings, some allow for higher Voltage for those cold mornings, Schneider and Midnite I think. Which panels do you have? Did you actually have 12 strings? or did you intend to buy more panels?
- Assorted other systems, pieces and to many panels in the closet to not do more projects.

I'll be rewiring that once the weather improves a bit. Thank you all for the help!
