Solar first. That will give you the load you can install to for mini splits and other systems. Then furnace and water heater to mini splits (ones rated to 0 degrees F). with electric baseboard for backup on very cold days. Battery back up isn’t optional if you genuinely want to disconnect from the grid.

If you do solar first, be very careful about them sizing to load. That’s their default but don’t do that, because in future, your load will increase.

That’s right. You want to max your roof’s generating capacity to run future equip and charge batteries.
