it would be much better if you did a line diagram so that we can all see what you are looking to achieve, as your picture is all over the place and you should be asking your electrician how to do this if you are not sure. and as you will be adding a BMS more than likely then this will complicate issues as well.

from your discriptions it looks like you are on the right track
