Default Solar panels

I have two 40 watt panels to mount on top of the dodger, one on either
side. This means one is always going to be in shadow. I want to parallel
them together and run to the controller input. Due to the diodes, the
one in shadow shouldn't drag the other down. Correct?
These are older type silicon cells.
Thanks
Gordon
