Help with dropping voltage on 1000w dc power
It would be a shame to just waste 180W (5V X 36A), nearly 20% of the array power output, with a resistor (or a diode, linear regulator, etc.).

I suspect you have invested a significant sum in a solar array (far more than the inverter, correct?) with that much capability so don't waste it!

As comments have pointed out, reconfigure the array to produce less voltage with more current, replace the inverter or, if replacing or modifying the inverter is not an option and you don't want to throw away 20% of your array's output, you could look into a switching DC to DC converter to reduce the 35V array output to something your inverter can tolerate while wasting far less array power.
