You will need panels with about 60v OCV, then a regulator won't be necessary. Otherwise, any converter will waste most of the energy. Or 4x 12v panels would work. 100w at 48v would be just a little over 2 amps into the battery. That's 2ah into a pack that's rated at least 160ah, not a whole lot of power.
