If I'm using two inverters, do I need a dedicated (no other loads) PV panel or can I just have 2 separate load side breakers in the main service panel?
Thanks

In my opinion there's no rule against multiple breakers in the main service panel. I've seen one or two people in the forum say that they think the code rule for a 'dedicated' breaker requires all sources to be combined first, but I've never seen this enforced by an AHJ based on that rule.
There may be practical limitations, such as how many breakers you can put on the 'opposite end' if using the 120% rule. Sometimes the right quad breakers aren't available.
I’d say common practice is to combine before a single breaker but there’s nothing disallowing multiple load side backfed breakers.
