Yes that's what I used and yes parallel, the panels already had diodes in the junction box as I understood it so I fitted nothing extra, a very kind and deceased member on here did suggest I needed to and sent me three but I never used them as the system was working well and carried on doing so until we sold the van 8 years later.Martin, do you mean something like this?...one block for positive and one for negative.
Are your panels in parallel? Do you (or anyone else) fit diodes?CED 4-Way Earth Block - Screwfix

I got some info back from Photonic Universe who suggested I fit (blocking) diodes to the positive side of the two extra 100w panels I'm considering fitting (in parallel).
A Google seemed to suggest blocking diodes were for series installs and bypass diodes were for parallel...hence confusion.
Many thanks.
I will say though that I fitted three matched panels to one controller and the original odd one on it own controller.
