From solar panels to solar controller to main buss. Basically it’s a direct connection to house bank. If you run connection all the way to house battery voltage drop could be an issue.

Hi Folks When we upgraded our battery/inverter set up to lithium I also replaced the Pathmaker. I’ll attach a diagram that we followed.
