I would say it’s likely okay, but to speak in the vernacular, “watch out 
sucka”. 

Vmp will be lower due to temperature coefficient, dirt on the panels and 
degradation over time.  But, the inverter likely wakes up above the minimum Vmp 
as Voc has the voltage but the inverter can track below minimum Vmp after it 
wakes up and starts tracking. How far below official Vmp can it track? 18-58 is 
the tracking range. Inverter technical specs:

I saw an inverter comparison document but could only find this AU version just 
now.
