Shutting off all DC power

Pull the solar fuse and then disconnect the batteries or
Disconnect the batteries then pull the solar fuse.

Or.
It makes no difference.

While I have done it both ways many time, with no negative effects, the"proper" way would pull the fuse first , then disconnect the battery. Depending on the solar controller, there could be a high voltage spike, if the battery is disconnected first, that could damage a voltage sensitive device.
Still, in many years of experience, I have never seen it happen.
