About Us
At ShopSolar (formerly Shop Solar Kits™), we’re cutting through the solar industry’s overpriced nonsense to make energy independence simple, transparent and affordable. Since 2018, we’ve shipped over 50,000 orders to cabins, homes, properties and businesses for customers across the U.S. We’ve proven that you don’t need a massive operations team, flashy vans, or overpriced consultation fees to harness the power of the sun.
We started in Canada (yes, Canada) and quickly realized the real opportunity was south of the border. Fast forward 7+ years, and we’re now one of the most trusted names in solar, helping people ditch inflated bills, power off-grid adventures, and stay prepared with reliable backup power.
And no, we don’t ship your products from Canada. We have a completely separate US operation, so when you buy from us, you are buying from an American based company.

Trusted by 50,000+ & Counting
The internet can feel like the Wild West—full of smoke, mirrors, and too-good-to-be-true promises. We get it—trust doesn’t come easy. But here’s the thing: we’re real, our systems work, and over 50,000 happy customers can vouch for us.
We answer our phones, respond to emails, ship fast, and focus on what we do best: saving you money while powering your life. See a deal somewhere else that seems too good to be true? It probably is. If the website looks sketchy or they’re skipping sales tax, it’s not just shady—it’s illegal, and you’ll end up footing the bill come tax season (someone has to).
Here’s the good news: we’ll match real deals from legitimate companies. So, shop smart and stay safe—your trust deserves nothing less.

How We Beat the Big Guys
Here’s the solar industry’s dirty secret: you’re not paying for panels; you’re paying for their bloated overhead - Commissions, markups, vehicles, and hidden fees - That’s their problem, not yours.
At ShopSolar, we keep it lean. No pushy salespeople. No overpriced systems. Just high-quality solar kits at prices that make traditional installers sweat. And yes, batteries are included – because a solar system without storage is like a car without a gas tank.
We also use modern eCommerce logistics and supply chain optimization techniques to cut costs wherever possible. Sometimes that means buying and stocking inventory; other times, it means drop-shipping directly to you (yes, we said drop-shipping). Whatever makes the most sense to save our customers money, we do it.
