Choosing the correct solar panel...

[Tongs of Destiny]

Can someone please help me with regards to sizing a solar panel for a 1200w microinverter, the specs of the inverter are below:

The advert for the inverter says it is designed for 4 panels / 60&72 cell panels.

INPUT DATA

Recommended Input Power (W) 200-360
Peak Power MPPT Voltage Range (V) 32-48
Operating Voltage Range (V) 16-60
Maximum Input Voltage (V) 60
Maximum Input Current (A) 10.5

I can find 365w panels for sale, specs below:

(Voc) 41.13 volts
(Vmp) 33.96 volts
(Isc) 11.30 amps
(Imp) 10.75 amps

Does the slightly larger 365w v 360w panel matter? Am I just looking at the (Voc) to be within the operating range of 16-60v, what about the amps?

I'm guessing that by plugging the 4x panels directly into the microinverter the voltages don't add up (like in a string) otherwise 4 panels would then be 165v?


Thanks

Not sure if this will help, but different type of panels were discussed in this thread, maybe one of these forum members can assist:

I've been prepping a solar system for my home for quite a while, and have certainly learnt a ton along the way. Over the past 18 months or so I've asked perhaps too many questions (to the great annoyance of some forumites), but I've gleaned enough info to have been confident enough to finally...
