Installing a solar panel system complete with battery storage bolsters the benefits you’d get from panels alone. It further decreases your reliance on fossil fuels and puts you in greater control of how and when you use the energy harnessed from the sun.

With PWRcell, you’re investing in a home energy storage system that is easy to use in a variety of ways. Build the system you need to store enough solar power to back up the circuits you need when utility power fails. Or, switch to stored solar energy when utility rates are high.
While solar panels alone can bring savings on energy costs, you’ll get more benefits when you invest in solar storage at the same time. Many utility companies will buy back solar energy you don’t use on a given day. However, the credits you get may be lower than the rate you pay for grid energy. If you store your own solar power, you can use it whenever you need it – like during peak utility time-of-use rates when the sun goes down, or when it’s cloudy.
Plus, PWRcell solar battery storage could make you eligible for big tax incentives both federally, and in certain localities too.
Integrate with other Generac products to transform your monitoring and backup capabilities. A Generac home standby generator, the #1 choice in North America, provides virtually endless* backup in case of extended outages, making your home a safe haven.
And an integrated ecobee smart thermostat not only provides a convenient in-home display where anyone can view outage details and battery status, but it can also automatically adjust temperature set points during an outage to preserve stored energy and extend backup duration even further.
*Subject to fuel availability.
Being energy independent is empowering for your family today and demonstrates an investment in the earth they will inherit in the future. The PWRcell Solar + Battery System captures energy from the sun and reduces reliance on the grid, which is mostly powered by fossil fuels
In 2022 we installed enough PWRcell systems to avoid 116,389 metric tons of CO2 going into the atmosphere. Let this be the year you join the clean energy revolution by adding solar panels and a battery storage solution to your home
