I bought 11 36v 340W solar panels off ebay not noticing that. Is there any way to use them on a 48v system.

Don't worry, you'll be fine. Read up on how MPPT solar charge controllers work and you'll see that you can come up with configurations that puts two or more in series to charge your 48V battery bank.

Here's something to get you started:

 
Thank you for that answer. How to I hook them up? Parallel? I'm so clueless about this stuff.

11 panels divided by 3 in Series is 9 so you either have 2 panels extra or buy another one to make 12.
You are asking people to look at your previous posts to find out what SCC you have and its specs.
Also the specs on your 340 watt panels.

11 x 340 is 3740 watts at 48V is 78A
