Can I Parallel these 2 panels?

running a 12v system

I just bought 1 of these
http://store.altenergystore.com/Solar-Panels/1-to-50-Watt-Solar-Panels/Kyocera-KC40T-40W-12V-Solar-Panel-with-J-Box/p722/

and have one of these as well

I should be able to run these in parallel using a combiner box easily since their Voc & Ioc are so very close? Yes? No?

yep, run them thru a combiner, with each going thru an appropriate breaker sized at max series fuse size. no big deal.
