I think Carl just left out the solar panel bypass line. You really don't want to restrict the total flow so the easiest way is to add valves so you can divert only part of the total flow to the solar panels. That's what I do. I basically split the filter output 3 ways. Straight to the returns and one each to the two solar collectors with ball valves in each line. The solar collectors just dump into the deep end from a couple of hoses under the diving board but you could just as well plumb them back into the return line.
