WAUKESHA, Wis., Sept. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Generac Power
Systems (NYSE: GNRC), a leading global designer and
manufacturer of energy technology solutions and other power
products, today announced the launch of PWRmanager, the newest load
management system for Generac's renowned PWRcell Energy Storage
System. PWRmanager unlocks whole home power by automatically
controlling and sequencing which circuits and appliances receive
power when the home is disconnected from the grid in a power outage
event.
PWRmanager allows homeowners to use their phone or tablet to
simply "swipe" off/on any circuit in their home. This can extend
battery runtime during prolonged power outages by de-energizing
less important circuits. And for homeowners who want to run their
homes on stored sunshine on a daily basis, PWRmanager is designed
to provide an uncompromised experience that other solar and battery
systems simply cannot.
"The Generac PWRcell System is the most powerful battery system
on the market, and now with PWRmanager, we've taken it a step
further," said Russ Minick, chief
marketing officer and president of Energy Technology at Generac. "A
major customer pain point is that most battery systems today can
only run a handful of things for a few hours or they simply lack
the power output, capacity and smart load control needed to run
most of the home throughout the night. With the new PWRmanager, not
only does the PWRcell System work harder to keep loads powered, it
also works smarter than other systems."
PWRmanager is designed as an easy-to-install device and does not
require a new load panel. Rather, it installs next to the home's
existing electrical panel in as little as 90 minutes. Additionally,
the PWRmanager is priced lower than other similar products and
integrates seamlessly with the PWRcell System and PWRview app.
PWRmanager automates control of up to twelve 120V circuits or six
240V circuits, plus two thermostats.
"In a power outage, every bit of battery power is important,"
Minick said. "PWRmanager makes choices about how and when
appliances get power on your behalf, so that you have the best
outage experience possible and do not have to compromise on comfort
or lifestyle."
PWRmanager will be available for purchase beginning in Spring
2022. For more information about PWRmanager or other Generac
