Could you please help me! I need your help to configure how many panels I can connect to my inverter. I bought 2 inverter, MPP Solar 8048MAX, 220-230V, but I am planning on using only one, and store the seconf one for future use in case the first one break down. Also, I have 12 panels, Trina Solar 510W. I would like to use as many panels as I can without overloading the inverter, 2 strings. The system will be completely off grid, no grid.
I live in South America in a rural area without electricity, the temperature here is average 30-34° C (86°-95° F), the lowest It can be is 15° C (60° F).
Attached please find the specs for the panels and the inverter. I try to read as much as I could, but the part that confuses me is the TSC information, thermal chacarteristics, and other things.
Thank you very much for your help

With only 12 panels you aren't overloading the inverter.
It can handle 8 on one and 8 on the other in your area.
Supervstech, thank you for your suggestion, it gives me a piece of mind knowing that I won´t blow up the inverter. So, I will connect the two strings to the inverter, one string per pv input.
Have a great day.
