I want to make a solar powered battery charging 'station' for general use. All batteries to be 12v, some AGM, some just an assortment of shop batteries used to power 12v water pump, diesel fuel transfer pump and a couple of spare generic car batteries. I am thinking of 3-4 100w mono. panels to match those that I already have and making some form of a 'bus bar' that I can hook up any or all of the batteries as needed. I have an unused 30a PWM controller in my possession at this time, but I am interested in doing it as correct as possible. How low of a charge can the battery be to still be hooked up to this design?Any thoughts?
I also want to try to learn how I might be able to hook up a charger for a 36v golf cart |

Hello,
Will you be connecting all these different batteries together as one large battery bank? If the batteries are not the same type (AGM,Sealed,Flooded,Gel) I would not recommend connecting them together since the batteries will have different charging voltages.
To recharge a 36 volt golf cart battery you will need a charge controller that can support a 36 volt battery bank.

Is the MidNite Solar classic light the least expensive one of the offerings that Renogy offers?
Would it be possible to provide a schematic here that might give some guidance as to how you would go about configuring such a charger?
Would connecting similar types of batteries in parallel be one option?
