Splitting hairs, I know but, using the 3000EHV-48 and (3) 43.5 Voc ?

Using the 3000EHV-48 and a single EG4-LifePower4 Lithium Battery | 48V
Not to beat the dead horse...
If I start with 3 of these panels (see below) in series with a total Voc 130VDC
I'm obviously concerned with the 120 operating spec of the EG4 inverter.

Model Type: SG-200WM​

Peak Power (Pmax): 200W
Production tolerance: ±3%
Maximum Power Current (Imp): 5.28A
Maximum Power Voltage (Vmp): 37.9V
Short Circuit Current (Isc): 5.56A
Open Circuit Voltage (Voc): 43.5V

I plan to add more panels down the line, but will this work to start my 48V system?
Thanks for the input and your knowledge in advance!
 
Minimum PV voltage is 120VDC, should work but another panel may be wise.
 
Thanks Mopat,
I really appreciate your answering my question.
Sincerely
 
On that inverter does it simply stop accepting power below 120V input or is it more of a "it's less efficient"?
 
Add one more panel. Unless you have optimal panel orientation you will likely fall short of 120v. I have six 445w panels and they rarely get over 250v.
