The inverter must also be UL and/or CA approved and be able to synchronize with the 120 or 240 volts AC. There are many inverters that can convert 12 Volts DC to 120 volts AC, but I haven't been able to confirm if they can synchronize with the AC.

To generate 400 watts at 15 volts, the solar panels will have to produce 26 amps. If you don't use batteries, the power will vary with the time of day and the weather, and of course you'll have no power at night. 15VDC is the inverter’s input voltage.
