Wondering if the attached image is okay to do?

Or do I have to tap on to each parallel phase conductor?

Tap both to say a 3 port polaris tap, then a single conductor into my solar lug?

Yes. Change the two port Polaris blocks to three port blocks and run all your conductors into them.

I assume those are equipment lugs not Polaris connectors in the sketch, so I would use a three port Polaris block sized so the two can pass thru unsoliced to the equipment, then use the third port for the solar. Another option we would be to replace the equipment lugs with three port, but that might be tricky to find suitable lugs for that.
