Yes, and that's why people suggested disconnecting the battery cables and checking them with a meter (assuming you have one and know how!). It all depends on how the panel/controller is connected to the batteries. Asking the installer would probably be a good solution too because it would take them 5 minutes to check if they didn't recall how they installed it in your particular case.

Only you will know... it could be either way....

unhook the battery terminal cables
place the switch in the off position

check the battery terminal cables for possible voltage from the solar gear.

make sense ?

Hard to say, but a voltmeter would tell you for sure.
