24 V in parallel is 28 to 30V, not 36V.
With a 12V panel, you end up with 14.4 to 14.8V in bulk mode, out of 17.0V for the panel under full load, about 21 to 22 V open circuit.
With 24V panel, you end up 28 to 30 V Open circuit... check the panel specifications for Voc and Imp as well as Vmp... the ratio of the loss is less Voc to Vmp in a 24 volt system.
Depends on the panels. My "24-v" panels are 42Voc and 36Vmp.
