Unplug. Open the panel and remove the front cover to expose the 120v wires. There is probably a breaker with two wires connected. The short wire with a wire nut is the connection to the WFCO converter. remove the wire nut, separate the wires and replace the wire nut on the short wire to the breaker to avoid any short circuit. This is a typical set up, yours could be different.
Post a pic of the wires if this does not seem easy.
Actually there is no need to disable the converter for the solar panels. However you do not want the inverter to power the converter as that will create a power loop that will discharge the batteries in a short time.
It would be a bit tedious but I think you could convert everything to your 230v 50 cycle if you are determined. Otherwise everything is designed for 120v 60 cycles. 12v battery and propane will usually run most systems without utility/inverter power.
