My father lives in remote area of Australia. Last time he was in Sydney he bought 5 100w panels, joiners, cable, 3000w sine inverter, charge controller 30amp- I think & 7 of 12v 10a/h closed cell batteries. And that

That is some funny stuff, I don't care who you are.
500 watts of panels, 12 volt 70 AH Battery, and a 3000 watt Inverter.
OP with a 3000 watt Inverter requires a minimum 48 volt 600 AH battery, 60 amp Charge Controller, and a 2000 to 3000 watt Solar panel.
With 500 watts of panel requires a 40 Amp Charge controller, 12 volt 400 AH battery and can only supply a 500 watt Inverter.
What you propose does not fly and is a ticking time bomb. a 12 volt 70 AH battery would be cooked the first day.

Well, thanks guys. I wrote a fairly extensive post with many questions. Only for it to be cut off for some reason. I was so mad last night when the site cut most of my post off, I went to bed...

I am sorry to tell you this, but you are in so deep, there is no way to help you make this right. Nothing you have is workable, safe, or will do what is expected. I do not think anyone here will help you because those of us that know are not going to help anyone build a fire trap or a system they know will fail.
The very first step is you have to determine daily Kwh usage. There is no other way. 99% of people grossly underestimate only to find out shortly they lost all their money and fin dout they need to spend 10 to 20 times more than they lost to make it work and be safe.
Good Luck.MSEE, PEComment

Well, the screen shot is something. But sadly, you have a battle ahead. I cannot condone a massive parallel system.
for a Fridge and other appliances, (short usage of the microwave, toaster, but all heating needs to be gas, not electric)
What about water, piped in? Well? Deep well? storage tank. Often, water systems are overlooked.
Batteries should be in a Series string, 6V golf cart batteries or floor scrubber batteries are a inexpensive start.
I'd go right to a 48V system, going to buy gear 1x, you should do it right.
