Do you have the eb240 on Amazon it says OCV 16-68V. 37.4 VOC should work fine.

Take a look at this article it could help you. How many amps are the panels?

How wiring in series vs parallel affects solar array amps & volts
The amps and volts of a solar panel array can be affected by how it is wired. This blog post will teach you everything you need to know about this.

Did you read the article I linked? I think you can only use one panel. If you put them in series you're going to be over on VOC and if you put them in parallel you're going to be over on amperage. I could be mixing up the terminology but my point is amps add up one way VOC adds up the other.

one panel mentioned is fine
two panels is not.
all rough numbers but close enough to see:
in series volts add up and amps stay the same
so 37 + 37 would be 74v and over the input limit of 60v of the Bluetti (the amps will remain at 8.43)
(on a side note, voltage of the panel will go up as the outside temp goes down. not a problem at all with the one panel. just something to take into account as you approach any Solar charge controller's voltage input limit))
On the parallel side of things - amps add and voltage stays the same.
if you wired them in parallel the amps add up for total of about 16a - over the input limit of the Bluetti
