Panel open circuit voltage vs. inverter max DC.

[gvl]

I'm getting 30 LG300s panels installed as I'm writing this, Solar Edge 10k inverter. The installer is wiring them in 2 strings, 15 panels in each. The panels are rated at 39.8V open circuit voltage so for a 15-panel string almost 600V, the inverter is 500V DC max. The MPP voltage is 32V, so 480V total, which doesn't exceed the rating of the inverter. How bad is this?

The installer shouldn't be installing the panels as strings directly to the inverter.
Solaredge works with optimizers. The optimizers are what are wired directly to the inverter, and will communicate with the inverter to give 360V to the inverter. Each panel is wired to one optimzer, so each optimizer needs to handle the 39.8V Voc.

Duh, forgot about the optimizers. They are using the P400s, so up to 80V, sounds like it's alright at least from the operating mode perspective. So 360V total, how does it work, the optimizers will lower the voltage but allow more current so that the power output stays the same minus the DC to DC conversion losses?

That is exactly how it works. The inverter knows what input voltage will be most efficient and tells each optimizer what its role should be in producing that voltage.
If one optimizer is forced to drop its voltage to match the programmed string current the inverter will update its instructions to the rest of the string accordingly.
