Assuming the charge controller protects against overcharging, it shouldn't hurt the batteries.
Unless you are planning to use the extra power for something else or upgrading the battery bank, you are probably overkill on the solar. A pair of 6v will usually have around 220amp-hr and at best, you can only use around 50%, so around 110amp-hr charging needed.
The solar array should generate somewhere around 160amp-hr assuming the rated output for 4hrs per day. No harm but not maximizing the solar collected.
