As Andy says, but throw a dust sheet or something similar over your panels before you connect them, so that there is no current flowing when you connect your panels.

Are they 12volt and do you need a 12volt configuration?If so connect positve to positive and negative to negative(parallel wiring),you can get connectors for this purpose(MC Connectors) it would be best to fit fuse inline too and make sure cables are correct guage.
