Technical problems from day one!

I bought my solar kit from them a year and a half ago. I still do not have it working correctly. To begin with they sent me the wrong Converter. Then it was Winter so I didn't attempt to install until Summer, I live in Colorado. Once I attempted to install I ran into one issue after another. Didn't work, it was the wrong fuse sent, still didn't work, it was the charge controller, then inverter (supposedly). Their tech group tried but didn't seem to have the basic electronic experience needed to troubleshoot. I now have a system with two batteries that can only power two 15amp breakers for less than two hours. This is a 3,000 watt inverter with 4 solar panels. Now, they don't even return my emails. I essentially got a 3K pile of crap. Last letter 2 weeks ago. Buyer beware.

Hi Bob,

Thank you for taking the time to write this. We understand your frustration. After a deeper review with our lead tech, we found that the appliances and demands you are trying to run are too heavy for the kit you purchased. We also recognized that the original inverter was not the correct one for your RV and replaced it at no cost to you. We are sorry that this has been such a difficult experience.

You canceled my order without telling me why..You could have put in the canceled email."Out of Stock" That would have been easy

Hi Denise,

You’re absolutely right, we should have said why it was canceled. I’m sorry for the frustration. In this case, it was out of stock, and we dropped the ball by not stating that in the email. We’ve updated our cancellation emails to include the reason going forward.

We're very sorry for the inconvenience and lack of communication.

As I add to my system and become more educated on what my needs are I call Shop Solar. Bruce spent all the time necessary to answer my questions and help me order what I needed. He checked on a price match question and addressed that, and another question he sent to the service department and they responded with my answer the next day. Great company and amazing customer service! If you are on hold for a while (I was) it’s worth the wait for the service you receive. Anxious to receive my additional batteries and expand my system. Thank you Bruce and Shop Solar.

I got all of the information I needed to purchase our solar system from Alex and Bruce. They even put together a complete system for me to review. Nice touch.

Purchased the Rich Solar NOVA 8000K for an off grid set up. It has been a giant disappointment. Not a user friendly install and so finicky with 3d party batteries that, after nearly 6 weeks of constant tech support input, it still doesn’t work.

Don’t waste your money on a poor product from a company whose tech support is difficult to reach and not helpful. The worst is they haven’t honored their warranty.

I bought this through ShopSolarKits and their tech support hasn’t been any help either. Several sets of settings over five weeks that don’t work. I now own a $1300, 100lb brick that prevents me from renting my property.
