I have 12 12v 51w panels
3 12v 210w panels
and 3 24v 235w panels

54 12v batteries

and a 12v 5000w inverter

any Ideas on what I could do to get the best use of all.

Thinking about 75 amp MPPT controller if I can find out how to connect evrything with out burning down the house.
 
There many options.
I see that 24V is common. so....build a 24V system.
(12x12V 51W)-->(6x24V 102W)
+(2x12V 210W)-->(1x24V 420W)
+ (3x24V 235W)
------------------------------------------
=24V 757w

that means not using one panel and the inverter.
 
Does not do much good without an inverter and a charge controller.
It will work with setting up a 36v setup but I would have to put a 24 vdc and a 12vdc panel in series.

Connect all panels in parallel. That will give a 12v system.

The 24v panels won't be harmed by connecting them to a 12v battery system, it just means they will produce about half their rated power.

So that gives;
12*51W, 3*210W, 3*120W = 1600W
