Solar Controller & Battery Charging

img-6958.pngI am a newbie, so terminology might be off. I have a 100/15 solar controller, 100 watt solar panel, and 2 -100ah lithium batteries in parallel. Also have a victron shunt. The amps shown on battery shunt seem quite low compared to the amps flowing from the solar. Can't figure why those numbers aren't the same or close. What do I need to check?

Check to make sure EVERYTHING (all loads and all charging sources) is connected to the system/load side of the shunt. The only thing that should be connected to the battery side is the battery negative. This includes any chassis connections.
