Frequently Asked Questions
A NEMA 3R Rated shell is used in the production of the PWRcell inverter. For outdoor application, a NEMA 3R-rated enclosure provides protection from rain, sleet, snow, and ice formation. Additionally, it offers some defense against dust carried by the wind and the entry of solid foreign objects.
Generac’s PWRcell system offers a 10-year warranty for components and a 70% capacity guarantee for 7.56 MWh throughput, equal to 2,520 cycles. However, competitors like Enphase and FranklinWH provide higher durability, offering up to 6,000–10,000 cycles with lithium iron phosphate batteries, setting a new industry standard for longevity.
The process of installing energy storage technology in your house is complicated and requires electrical knowledge, certifications, and understanding of the best practices needed to establish a solar-plus-storage system. A certified solar installer like Solar SME can install your battery. Book an appointment or get FREE Quote today.
Since your PWRcell is solar charged, it has the capability to recharge and run your entire home indefinitely, though it is currently only designed for on-grid homes.
The Generac PWRcell 2 offers robust energy storage and management, ideal for backup power and maximizing solar use. While effective, it’s more expensive than Tesla Powerwall 3 and less powerful than Enphase systems. It’s a great choice if paired with a Generac generator or recommended by your solar installer.
