WAUKESHA, Wis., Jan. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
Generac® Power Systems (NYSE: GNRC)
has announced the nationwide availability of PWRcellTM
and PWRviewTM clean energy technologies for consumers.
Offered through its vast network of partner installers, PWRcell is
a revolutionary battery storage system that helps reduce home
energy costs, protects homes from power outages, and is
environmentally friendly. PWRview is an advanced home energy
monitoring system that allows homeowners to view their energy usage
and make the most informed energy decisions helping to reduce costs
even further.
PWRcell battery storage systems capture and store electricity
from solar panels or the electric grid. The stored energy can be
used during peak demand times when the cost of utility power is at
its highest, saving homeowners money on electric bills. In fact,
PWRcell users can realize thousands of dollars of savings over the
life of the product.
The stored electricity also provides protection against
short-term power outages, with the highest storage capacity
available on the market today.1 The intuitive PWRview
app processes energy data into useful information, enabling
homeowners to make smarter decisions regarding their use of energy,
allowing them to reduce consumption that may extend the amount of
time the home can run on PWRcell-provided energy.
Generac PWRcell features an innovative modular storage system,
which includes 8.6kWh batteries, a battery storage cabinet and an
inverter. Because it is made by Generac, each component is
specifically engineered to seamlessly install and work together,
unlike most solar storage products, which are assembled piecemeal
from various manufacturers' components. The system is fully
customizable, and can expand up to 34.2kWh. Unlike many
competitors, PWRcell generates enough power to start heavy loads,
such as well and sump pumps, dryers, and refrigerators, making it
the most scalable, robust energy storage system available. And
PWRcell battery technology means that it uses no fossil fuels to
power the home.
PWRcell systems are not only powerful, they're easy to install,
making them an even more attractive choice as a home energy storage
solution. When installed by an authorized Generac installer, most
PWRcell units can be up and running in just a day. Because PWRcell
features modular battery packs, it can often be installed by one
person, potentially making installation less expensive.
"PWRcell and PWRview make clean energy solutions more attainable
and accessible for homeowners," said Russ
Minick, head of Clean Energy and Chief Marketing Officer for
Generac. "Our Clean Energy technologies save on energy bills,
they're easy to install, and they're backed by the world's number
one manufacturer of residential backup solutions-Generac."
PWRview is available as a standalone home energy monitoring
system including an easy to install energy monitor and powerful
smartphone app. PWRview helps users learn how daily habits can
affect electrical costs; users can receive detailed electricity
bill tracking and forecasting as well as reduce grid dependence
with daily energy dashboards and summaries. Additionally, users can
set daily and monthly electricity budget goals and challenge
themselves to meet them.
Every PWRcell system is backed by a 10-year limited warranty,
with prices starting at $9,999. For a
limited time, homeowners that purchase PWRcell will receive the
PWRview home monitoring app – a $300
value when they schedule a free in-home assessment. For more
