WAUKESHA, Wis., April 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- GeneracⓇ Power Systems (NYSE: GNRC)
has been chosen as the "best of the best" and awarded Silver in the
2021 Edison Awards in the sustainability and home efficiency
solutions category for their PWRcell solar + storage system. The
Edison Awards are a global leader in recognizing, honoring, and
fostering innovation and innovators to create a positive impact in
the world. The Edison Awards honor excellence in new product and
service development, marketing, human-centered design and
innovation. Being recognized with an Edison Award is one of the
highest accolades a company can receive in the name of innovation
and business success.
Generac's PWRcell system won this award after a rigorous
selection process. Nominations first receive focus group review by
the Edison Awards Steering Committee, comprised of experts from a
variety of disciplines. A panel of industry experts, past Edison
Award winners, business executives, and academics make up the panel
of judges who select the award level for each finalist. The PWRcell
system took home the silver seal as a finalist in the
sustainability and home efficiency solutions category, which
awards products and services that support the mission of focusing
on the health and longevity of the planet.
"We're proud to be recognized for the breakthrough technology of
PWRcell," said Aaron Jagdfeld,
president and CEO of Generac. "We believe stored solar energy plays
a critical role in meeting America's energy challenges. PWRcell is
an important step toward a future with cleaner, more reliable
electrical infrastructure."
The PWRcell system is unique among solar and solar + storage
systems because it allows a consumer to use solar energy, even when
the sun isn't shining. Unlike a standard solar array, PWRcell
stores solar power in a battery during the day, and draws on that
energy overnight to reduce reliance on grid energy, which also
saves money. Because PWRcell is larger and more powerful than other
solar + storage systems on the market, consumers who choose PWRcell
can offset their carbon footprint and energy expenses to a greater
degree than they might with less capable systems. And, should the
grid go down, all that power and capacity can be used to provide
instantaneous, silent and clean whole-home backup power.
