Voc is voltage open circuit, a panel spec. Panel parameters are temperature sensitive and you can do the calculations yourself since the temperature coefficients are also part of the panel spec.
Normally only Voc is critical as a controller may not survive exceeding it's max input voltage.
At 0F my 60 cell panel Voc is 5 volts higher, hence 15V for 3 series panels.
25C (77F) is the base and amps rise while voltage drops with increasing temps and the opposite for decreasing temps.
