John,
The different panels will have a somewhat different I to V curve, and
thus the maximum power point for each may be a bit different. Depending
on the MPPT controller, this may mean a reduction in power transfer
efficiency, but should still charge the battery. Some MPPT controllers
generate a particular I to V curve for the attached panels, by sampling
over time and various light conditions. Still better than a straight PWM
approach.
