What are you charging, and what kind of controller are you using ?
panels "labeled 12V" generally put out 19-20V to be able to recharge a 12V battery 2 in series gives close to 38V, for charging a 24V batteryPowerfab top of pole PV mount (2) | Listeroid 6/1 w/st5 gen head | XW6048 inverter/chgr | Iota 48V/15A charger | Morningstar 60A MPPT | 48V, 800A NiFe Battery (in series)| 15, Evergreen 205w "12V" PV array on pole | Midnight ePanel | Grundfos 10 SO5-9 with 3 wire Franklin Electric motor (1/2hp 240V 1ph ) on a timer for 3 hr noontime run - Runs off PV ||

Is this going to be a 24V battery bank or a 12V bank ?

Provided the panels have MC-4 connectors in the output cables you series connect two at a time, then use a parallel branch connector. From there you can buy a length of pv wire with male and female MC-4 ends and cut it in half to continue on to your switch gear.

OK, so you need a simple 2S2P PV array.
wire 2 panels in series, and then the other 2 in series
then take the 2 pairs, and wire in parallel
Learn how to wire solar panels and batteries together so that you can increase those watts, volts, and amps as you need.
