Solar Power advise needed please

[Andy]

Hi Folks
I've just been asked to install an outside socket at a customers house, thats no problem.
My problem is they've got Solar Panels and I've not had the pleasure of working around the extra systems involved.
Can / Should I be able to turn them off whilst I work on the house wiring, do my testing etc, complete my work then turn the solar back on.
Somehow this sounds to easy.
Your thoughts please
I've not been able to have a look yet so any advise would be welcome.
Cheers
Andy

What does you Scheme help desk say on the issue, after al that's what you are paying for.

yes isolate it before hand .before you start work .
find the main rotary switch and isolated near the c/u .

Thanks Guys, I went to ring them this morning and realised there closed till monday. Obviously I'll call them then.
To be honest I also value your comments, hence the post.
Cheers

Should be a diagram by the cu with instructions on how to isolate the system. If not, as Buzz said turn off at the idolator which should be by the cu.
