The Eaton DP221NGB switch will work great for the panel disconnect if you have room.
I used the BUSSMANN CIRCUIT BREAKER 80A285080F-121-S SURFACE TYPE III for the battery side.
OP You must/should disconnect the panels first and then the battery per MS. Reverse for connecting. So you need easy access to the switches. The advice on being careful with the higher DC voltage is well founded. My panels run 90V+.
All – I’m aware that the Eaton switch is not DC rated but it works fine for my panels and others have used it as well. At $21 it’s more than adequate but high dollar DC switches are available.
