Why Choose Shop Solar

Installation and Wiring-Overview

The RS-BM500 shunt should be mounted as close to the battery as possible, and the remote display is intended to be mounted on a wall.

Recommended Tools

Wrench
Drill
Jig saw
2 ring terminals of appropriate size for battery cable
Crimp tool for ring terminals

Wiring Diagram

The following wiring diagram will be referenced in the next section.

Installation

Before doing anything, disconnect all wires from the negative side of the battery.
Cut the negative cable for the battery and crimp on new ring terminals. Alternatively, use a new wire of appropriate gauge to carry the full current demand of your system.
Install the shunt as shown in the wiring diagram above.
Note: The negative terminal of the battery must connect directly to the“B-" side of the shunt, and there should be no other connections to the negative terminal of the battery for accurate measurements.
Use the B+ wire included in the package to connect the B+ terminal of the shunt to the positive side of the battery.
Note: Do not stack smaller terminals under large ones.
Connect the shunt to the remote display using the included shielded cable.

Mounting the Remote Display

Plan the location of your remote display and keep in mind there is a cable that needs to route all the way to the shunt.
Drill a hole in the center of the planned location and use the jig saw to cut a hole according to the following picture.
Connect the shielded cable to the shunt and route it such that you can bring it through the hole.
Connect the shielded cable to the remote and snap the remote into place.

Basic Setup

Hold the "Ok" button for 3 seconds to enter the settings screen. The up and down arrows are used to navigate as well as change parameters. The "Ok" and "<<" button are used to enter and exit a setting.
Set the "CAP" setting to match the capacity of your battery or battery bank.
Optionally set the "HIGH V" and "LOW V" values to the voltages at which you want remaining capacity/percentage to reset to 100% and 0% respectively.
Alarm is the minimum Ah value that will trigger an audible alarm.
Once all of these settings are complete, hit "<<" and your BMK is set up.

EG4 off-grid base kit, Happy with my purchase.

This is the first stage of my three planned purches. I got the eg4 inverter 6000 XP base kit with six 400 watt panels and the two server rack batteries. Did a little online research and followed the instructions and it got set up without any issues. Right now I'm just running it in my garage on a single outlet and have been running dual 750 watt water distillers with it. Once I get the second inverter and a bunch more panels and batteries, I plan on attaching it to my subpanel in my house that has my lights and outlets and appliances on it. Then I'll get a soft start for my AC and blower and run it on my main panel.

Easy Process, Genuine Support

Trying to pick the correct solar system for your needs can be very technical and frustrating. I wanted to thank Yvhan and the Shop Solar team for their patience and helpful attitudes through multiple calls. I feel like we were able to narrow it down to what worked for me and my family. My system works great and I couldn't be happier to have picked Shop Solar.

Off Grid Solar Purchase

I wanted to get an offgrid solar system for years but didn’t know where to start. I found Shop Solar on Facebook and decided to submit a quote. Within 24 hours I had a custom proposal that was almost half the price of the companies I had previously got quotes from. My wife and I decided to order online and the kit came in a timely manner and it was an easy install. Great company to work with!

Highly Recommend

I would like to take the time to express the outstanding service that I was provided with by Shop Solar. They provided me with all the answers to my questions, and after reviewing our quote over the phone I felt comfortable proceeding to order my kit. It’s exactly what I needed and they were there to help us over the phone when we had questions installing it. I highly recommend others in need to choose Shop Solar Kits.

Solar Kit for Mobile Work Van

As a professional videographer, I needed reliable power on the go. ShopSolar's Delta Pro and roof-mounted panels were the perfect solution. Setup was easy, and the kit included everything needed. The Delta Pro powers my cameras, lights, laptop, and a small fridge with impressive battery capacity.

Best Tech Support

You folks have been wonderful guiding me through the ins and outs of going solar. Plus your tech guys Rod and Nelson are the absolute best. They explained all the different aspects of inverters, batteries and how to keep them in top condition. Too much more to put here… but no other company has the 100% tech support you provide for your customers!

Great Experience

My experience with Shop Solar has been excellent. Before the sales, they answered all my questions to assure that I got what I needed. After the sales they continued to support me with answers and help. I had a warranty issue with a unit, and it was handled as well as possible. I would recommend them to anyone looking to go solar.
