How Generac PWRcell System Works?
Generac PWRcell Home Battery System Design
Every PWRcell system couples with solar panels from the majority of manufacturers and includes an inverter, battery storage cabinet, and lithium-ion battery modules as standard equipment. A garage or the outside of a house can both be used to install the PWRcell inverter and battery cabinet. The modular structure of the Generac PWRcell enables you to increase your storage capacity as your power requirements change. Homeowners can start with a 9kWh solar + battery storage system and upgrade in 3kWh steps up to a 36kWh system.
What are the key components of the Generac PWRcell battery storage system?
The GeneracPWRcell home battery is different from standard solar home batteries in a few important ways.
Lithium-ion Battery:
Like the Tesla Powerwall, the GeneracPWRcell is a lithium-ion battery with a long lifespan and little maintenance.
Automatic Transfer Switch:
Can seamlessly take over powering your house during a power failure through its preprogrammed feature.
PWRmanager:
You can prioritize output with the PWRmanager and track your energy usage with the monitoring app
Two Battery Models:
Choose between the GeneracPWRcell EX and DCB. Operating temperatures for the two versions vary from 32 to 104 degrees
Battery Warranty:
With the GeneracPWRcell 10-year warranty, “Generac Power Systems, Inc. ensures quality and longevity of its products.
What is the storage capacity of the Generac PWRcell System?
It includes 3 modules t in a single Generac solar battery. Most homes will be able to keep running their key appliances during a power outage with this battery capacity. An automated transfer switch is built into the Generac PWRcell battery to keep your necessary connections powered up even after a power outage. You may need more battery units if you want to keep the entire house powered up. The average American home uses 893 kWh of electricity each month or about 29 kWh per day. If you assume that you use the most electricity while awake, it works out to less than 2kWh per hour. Thus, a 9kWh Generac PWRcell may keep running essential appliances for several hours. On one side, Your solar investment may have an additional expense due to the purchase of a solar battery. In contrast, a solar battery like the Generac PWRcell can increase the supply of useful solar energy you have in your hands in the event of a power outage or the event that extreme cold weather temporarily knocks out power in your area.
Frequently Asked Questions
Generac PWRcell offers energy resilience in a utility power loss by providing backup power that can be regenerated from the sun when the grid fails.
Yes, with the Smart Grid Ready technology that PWRcell Solar + Battery Systems have, you can participate in and get incentives from any local Virtual Power Plant (VPP) programs that may be available in your area. Through these initiatives, you may become more energy independent and help keep the grid stable.
To ensure that the system will work for you and your house, we personalize your home solar system by considering your prior usage, the available roof space, and your design choices. Starting with your past usage, we design a solar system that will supply you with the appropriate quantity of power based on your typical usage. Then, using satellite photos of your roof, we determine how many panels can be installed on each roof plane, taking into account that solar is most effective on south-facing roofs. We visit your house to inspect the roof and your main electrical panel in order to confirm our measurements and system design. Lastly, we confirm our final design with you.
Compared to competing solutions in the market today, Generac is proud to provide the biggest energy storage capacity in a single cabinet. 6 battery modules make up one PWRcell cabinet, which has an energy storage capacity of 18 kWh. Up to 36kWh of energy storage can be achieved by combining up to 2 PWRcell battery cabinets, totaling 12 battery modules.
While your PWRcell is exclusively designed for on-grid households, it can recharge and power your complete house indefinitely because it is solar charged.
