Instead, it is an integrated system of components that can work together to make the energy storage system more effective and efficient. Unlike other home solar batteries, Generac PWRcell is not just a battery box that hangs on your wall. The PWRcell stores energy generated by your solar panels and provides power to the home either when the sun doesn’t shine or when the grid is down. Like other home solar batteries, the Generac PWRcell is designed to provide backup power in the event of a grid outage and to save homeowners money by helping them avoid costly peak energy charges under Time of Use (TOU) energy rate plans.

The PWRcell can be paired with Generac’s backup generators to provide additional flexibility in power outages by charging the PWRcell battery if it gets low when the sun isn’t shining.Additional 3 kWh battery modules can be purchased for around $2,000 and installed in the battery cabinet to add storage capacity as needs change.The Generac PWRcell system can be installed alongside a new or existing solar system, and costs between $11,000 and $18,000, depending on the size of your system and where you live.When used with Generac’s Smart Management Modules, the PWRcell system can prioritize the startup of large appliances, allowing it to run more devices than any other solar battery system on the market.PWRcell can deliver up to 12,000 watts of surge power to start heavy-duty appliances like well pumps and air conditioners.Two battery cabinets can be combined for up to 36 kWh of storage. Each battery cabinet can store between 9 and 18 kWh of energy using between three and six 3 kWh battery modules.
