Question Proper wiring of solar and inverter to clipper monitor.

I hooked up my 400 watt inverter today and my clipper monitor is not showing any load when it is in use. I hooked it up directly to the battery as per instillation instructions for the inverter. Solar panels and inverters are not covered in the written directions for installing the clipper monitor but a diagram illustrating instillation shows loads and chargers in going to the shunt. So now I am thinking the negative wires from both my solar panel and the inverter should be going to the shunt. Does anyone know if this is correct? Could any harm come from trying it?
