    @WannabeSolarSparky - Thank you for the information. I'm new to solar and am learning each day, so I really appreciate your advise.
    I have another question, what do I need to look at on my inverter specs list and the solar panel spec list to determine if panels will or wont work perfectly?

    Putting 8 panels onto one MPPT at the start makes sense, and if adding more panels, I'd suggest getting 4 and re-configuring as 6 onto each MPPT. More panels than that only makes more sense if you're upgrading the inverter also.

    What sparky said. 8 is perfect for each mppt

    Those panels will work perfectly on that inverter.
    You can run them 4 in series X 2 strings i.e. 4 panels in series onto each mppt input at the inverter.
    When budget allows add at least another 4 panels,  2 onto each string to bring you closer to the optimal voltages.
    Or if your roof space allows it then put all 8 onto 1 mppt that should be pretty much close to the sweet spot for efficiency.
    Then you have the other mppt to add more panels later.
