Connecting Dissimilar 12V Panels In Parallel
My son has 2 Kyocera 80W 16.9V 4.97A panels in parallel with 30’ of 10 ga wire one way to the controller. And he has 2 new Renogy 100W 18.9V 5.75A panels. We’re planning parallel and running a second ...

Compare the % differences based on the Volts. You will lose 2V because the array will operate at 16.9V. The 16.9V panels could appear as shaded and possibly overheat.
Parallel equal Volts, series equal Amps.
You would want to know about blocking and bypass diodes Video.
I would go with a separate controller.
