CarloSW2,
In my experience, a charge controller is unnecessary for anything less than 100W while charging pB-A battery. You do loose power without a MMPT, but it is not necessary. The current is what charges the battery, and it will be delivered at whatever the battery voltage is instead of the nominal operating voltage. You could just put your panels in parallel and be done with it.
