unusual for a "solar setup" to stop working.

Hard to tell from your post what the facts are but reading between the lines are you sure it is not simply the battery not charged?.

These is no real reason why solar panels regulators etc stop working (read charging batteries) apart from physical damage (rats/mice on the wiring)...rubbing chaffing etc...blown fuse in the line somewhere...loose connection causing a bit of "bloom" on the wire connection.

I would be doing some simple tests yourself first before I dragged it somewhere and get charged for some basic checking. Get a multimeter and see if the panels are sending current to the regulator and simply work your way through the system..shoule be quite simple to find the error.

Hi Brian,
You could try Rods Auto electrics in Busselton.
I had trouble with my solar not charging batteries and they got it sorted.
Cheers

If it becomes necessary to go to a store, there is a Solar Shop in the block of units on the North East corner of Albert Rd & Strickland Street next to the lunch bar.

I've never been in it but saw it last week on my way past.

Cheers Neil
