The rule of thumb when connecting solar panels directly to a battery is never connect more than c 10 watts where c is the capacity of your battery.

An mppt solar charge controller is a smarter device than a pwm charge controller regarding its capability to squeeze more solar power by tracking the optimal power.
Different solar panels reduce the effectiveness of the controller to track this optimal power point.
They can be wired in parallel.
For example a 110ah battery should never be connected to a panel more than 11w without a solar controller and if you are using a solar controller you do not need a blocking diode.
The charge controller manufacturer should be able to confirm this.

Faqs common questions about connecting 2 solar panels.
If you were to get a 20a pwm controller you would be able to regulate a solar panel bank of up to 320w for 12v batteries and 640w for 24v batteries the pwm controller can also be used to connect solar panels to a battery bank of 12v batteries provided that the batteries are the same size and that they are in good condition.
Premium mppt solar charge controller suitable for use with lithium or lead acid batteries 20a current rating suits 12 24v solar systems compatible with lifepo 4 or linimncoo 2 lithium batteries.
Solar charge controllers also known as solar regulators are an integral part of any stand alone solar system.
Beginner s guide to solar charge controllers.
If we have two solar panels with the same voltage but different wattage there is no problem.
On the other hand if our two solar panels have both different wattage and different voltage then parallel connection is not possible since the panel with the lowest voltage would behave like a load and would begin to absorb current instead of producing it with the.
Also don t exceed the maximum charging current of the battery.
The panels can be wired either in series or parallel or combination of series parallel using mppt charge controller.
