Not 10. You'd be at very high risk of blowing the MPPT. Even 9 per side could be pushing it. Simplest is 8 of the same on the other solar input.

If you really want the power of the 2 extra panels, then maybe consider 8 of a different panel type. Something like a 500W panel that produces power at a higher current like maybe around 12-13A.

The axpert Max has  2 seperate  mppt's and they operate independant of one another. 

So you can keep your existing configuration as it is for mppt 1, and add the new panels in 5S2P for mppt 2 . This will give you a  voc of 247 volts on mppt which is perfect.

So what you saying have two strings of 5 panels in series and then connect the two strings in parallel ?

Yes.

  I have the same config at home, but using 460w vs 405w. So i am slighty overating the spec of 4kw per mppt but it works for me. Yours will be 4050w which is good.
