You have a high voltage model, your target voltage is 360vdc. The sweet spot for your model would be around 9 panels in series. It also has a very nice and low start up voltage. So 6 panels in series is fine.

HI Need to say that it is a off grid system

Although the sweet spot is indicated the fact that the MPPT range is from 60V upwards 3 in series gives 104V and that should be fine. 

You can always try it out with 6 as indicated or even use 6 in series in 1 string before going the 9 in series route.

I only suggested 9 because finding matching panels later on can be difficult.
