what's broken, what's it (not) doing?
Do you have documentation, or at least the type/name of it?
How far away from
Brisbane are you?
cheers, Peter

Its a BP solar GCR1200 that I had in my van, Ive taken it out and changed it with one I have in my shed which had a panel on the roof. It shows low voltage/no SOC/no charging current/no load current but shows the correct battery voltage. When I took it out it had a rattle inside, when I opened it I found 1 of three 75329p had a cracked piece off. I would like to find where I could have it repaired

These are low Rdson power mosfets.
We have similar ones in stock.
If you live near Brissy I can do a quick repair attempt.
Did the unit overheat or how did the mosfet crack?
cheers, Peter

I should have mentioned I live in central victoria. I lent the van to my brother inlaw and he told me of the fault ( he takes off a nut with a hammer and chisel so Im not surprised) Syd

Syd,
if you can see my profile, there's a link to our web page and on this there's a contact form, in case you want to mail the regulator to us.
cheers, Peter

You might want to consider an MPPT controller and boost your output a bit ?
Cheers
