I have just re-read your first post and I see a reference to flashing lights on the regulator. Since the Schaudt LR1218 has no lights I presume that is not what you have got (image below to confirm).
If your Elektrobloc is one of the following: EBL 101, 220, or 264, it must be coupled to an LR1218. If it is an earlier model such as the EBL 99 or 100 then other regulators may be used.
I'm not sure why the installation should cause trouble with the regulator as opposed to the EBL, but if your setup has been fitted with an incompatible regulator, it is probably worth changing it. The LR1218 comes with the correct wiring harnesses to activate the Schaudt LCD control panel so you can see the power coming in from the solar, and charge the starter battery as well as habitation battery bank.
With the correct setup there should be no need to install any switch in the solar circuit. Be aware that the regulator must remain connected to the EBL and hence batteries if the solar panel is feeding it otherwise the regulator can be damaged.
If in doubt, talk to these guys on Monday - they know all about, and repair, Schaudt EBLs

Going to bed now - hope you sort it out.
