The KID is the most versatile medium sized charge controller on the market. Ideal for small renewable energy systems. The KID allows for true input paralleling. As your power needs grow, add more modules to the array and a second KID. This will give twice the power from a single array.THE KID IS CERTIFIED TO UL1741 & UL458 (MARINE SUPPLEMENT)
With the UL458 marine supplement, THE KID meets very strict vibration, environment, and thermal requirements.
Comes standard with wall mounting bracket. Standard versions can be cut into the wall for a flush mount assembly and also come with a surface mount wall adapter to mount on the wall.
AGS (Auto Generator Start)
The Kid is the first charge controller in the industry to feature a two wire Automatic Generator Start (AGS) as standard equipment. The KID detects when the generator is running by simply watching battery voltage over time. No extra wires or voltage sensing is required making installation a snap.
Lighting Controller
The Kid has a fully adjustable intelligent lighting controller built in. It can turn lighting on at dusk for a select number of hours, turn it off for a length of time and then back on for a programmable number of hours before dawn. All time functions are fully adjustable, allowing users to save valuable energy. An additional feature in the lighting controller allows you to adjust the voltage needed on the PV module for the Kid to register "daytime". This is important if you are using the Kid for a solar street light and the lights are located above the PV modules. Most controllers would end up leaving the light off all night, but not the KID!
Solar only
The KID’s HyperVOC feature allows up to 162VOC. (The KID will not be harmed by voltages between 150 and 162VDC (this is the HyperVOC range). The KID will remain in standby until the voltage is 150v or below.

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.
