As energy prices continue to rise and power
outages become more widespread, more homeowners are turning to solar
to provide electricity for their homes and reduce their dependence
on the power grid. However, the functionality of solar alone, can be
limited at night or on cloudy days. Pairing solar with a battery
storage system, allows the homeowner to store any excess energy
generated on a sunny day and use it at night, when peak demand
charges are high, or in the event of a power outage.
The
Generac PWRcell solar + battery storage system harnesses clean
energy from the sun to provide you with backup power during utility
power outages, while also helping to lower your electric bill.
THE
PWRCELL HOME BATTERY STORAGE SYSTEM
– HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:
PREPARE FOR POWER OUTAGES
PWRcell can also provide whole home backup power during utility power
outages, so you stay comfortable, safe and secure in your home.
REDUCE ENERGY COSTS
The energy stored can be discharged to power your home during peak demand
times when the cost of utility power is higher, which can help you save
thousands in electric utility costs.
HELP THE ENVIRONMENT
PWRcell’s revolutionary battery storage technology captures and stores energy
from the sun using solar panels or the electrical grid.
SYSTEM DESIGN
The Generac PWRcell features a modular design that allows you to expand
your storage capacity
as your power needs evolve. Homeowners are able to start out with a 9 kWh solar + battery
storage system and expand in increments of 3 kWh up to 36 kWh on a single PWRcell Inverter.
PWRcell isn’t just a powerful battery, but it’s also the most flexible and
scalable home
energy system on the market. With a range of supplementary products and features, PWRcell
can be configured to meet just about any budget or lifestyle so you get a solution tailored
to your unique needs.
Reduce your energy costs and be prepared for power outages with the Generac
PWRcell.
ACT NOW – ADD A
SOLAR + BATTERY STORAGE SYSTEM & SAVE
If you’re thinking about adding a solar + battery storage system, now is the time to do
it! The federal homeowners’ solar tax credit (ITC) has been increased from 26% to 30%
and extended through the year 2034. This will help eligible customers unlock additional
average savings to offset the cost of their solar + battery storage system installation!

LOCAL INCENTIVES
TO SAVE MONEY BY GOING SOLAR
On top of the federal tax incentive, there may be state and city-level programs
available to encourage solar + battery storage adoption. In most cases, state and
local programs stack with the federal incentive, so you get to double-dip on your
savings. Be sure to do your research and talk to your installer about possible local
incentives so that you can take full advantage of any available savings.
LOWER YOUR ENERGY
BILL WITH NET METERING
Net metering (also known as net energy metering or NEM) is a solar incentive that
allows you to store energy in the electric grid. When your solar panels produce more
electricity than you need, that energy is sent to the grid in exchange for credits.
Then, at night or other times when your solar panels are underproducing, you pull
energy from the grid and use these credits to offset the costs of that energy.
