PWRcell 2 is designed to store energy and make it available when your home needs it. The system can charge using electricity produced by compatible solar panels or electricity supplied by the utility grid.
Stored energy can then be used during power outages, overnight, or during periods when utility electricity is more expensive.
Power outages are a concern throughout Tampa Bay, especially during hurricanes, tropical storms, severe thunderstorms, and other extreme weather.
When utility power is interrupted, PWRcell 2 can automatically use stored battery energy to help power your home. Generac’s Outage Guard feature can also prepare the battery for approaching severe weather by increasing its charge before a potential outage.
Solar panels produce electricity while the sun is shining, but your home’s energy needs continue after sunset.
Generac PWRcell 2 allows excess solar energy to be stored during the day and used later. Homeowners can use stored solar power at night, during an outage, or at other times when they would otherwise need electricity from the utility grid.
PWRcell 2 works with Generac’s PWRmanager load management technology to help control how stored energy is used throughout the home.
The system can prioritize important electrical circuits while reducing power to non-essential loads. This can help conserve available battery capacity and extend backup power during longer outages.
Homeowners can also control individual circuits and adjust energy priorities as their needs change.
Generac PWRcell 2 provides convenient monitoring through the ecobee by Generac smart thermostat and mobile app.
View battery status, solar production, energy usage, system performance, and outage information from your smartphone or tablet. During an outage, the smart thermostat can also adjust temperature settings to help reduce HVAC energy consumption and conserve available battery power.
Generac provides homeowners with multiple ways to monitor their home energy system.
The Generac home energy system can be monitored through a smartphone or tablet.
Homeowners can view real-time and historical system performance, monitor battery status, change settings, and stay connected to their energy system remotely.
The ecobee by Generac smart thermostat provides another convenient way to monitor the system.
The thermostat can display information such as:
During an outage, ecobee can also automatically adjust temperature settings to help reduce HVAC energy consumption and conserve stored battery power.
PWRcell 2 can charge using electricity generated by solar panels or electricity supplied by the utility grid.
Electricity is stored inside the battery until your home needs or chooses to use it.
When utility service is interrupted, PWRcell 2 can use stored electricity to provide backup power for your home.
Stored electricity can also be used at night or during peak-rate periods to reduce reliance on utility power and potentially lower electricity costs.
PWRcell 2 is more than a battery cabinet. Several components work together to store, distribute, monitor, and manage energy throughout your home.
The PWRcell 2 battery cabinet houses the individual battery modules that store electricity for later use.
Its modular design provides between 9 and 18 kWh of storage capacity within a single cabinet. Two cabinets can be connected to a single inverter for up to 36 kWh of total battery storage capacity.
The inverter charges the battery and converts stored electricity into usable power.
PWRcell 2 uses an AC-coupled system design. Electricity is converted between alternating current and direct current as energy moves between the home’s electrical system and battery storage.
The Smart Disconnect Switch, or SDS, acts as a central connection point for the home energy system.
It can connect the home’s solar equipment, battery storage, electrical system, utility grid, and a compatible standby generator. The SDS automatically manages power flow to provide reliable transitions when utility service is interrupted.
PWRmanager helps conserve stored battery energy by managing non-essential electrical loads.
Homeowners can manually control circuits or establish priorities that allow PWRmanager to automatically shed higher-energy appliances when necessary. This helps direct stored electricity toward the areas of the home where it is most important.
The ecobee by Generac smart thermostat and mobile app allow homeowners to monitor and manage their energy system.
View current and historical performance, change settings remotely, check battery information, and manage energy use even during an outage.
PWRcell 2 offers a modular design that can be configured around different household energy requirements.
The appropriate battery configuration for a home depends on energy consumption, desired backup capacity, solar production, and the electrical loads the homeowner wants to support.
PWRcell 2 can also become part of a broader Generac Home Energy System.
Homeowners can combine compatible PWRcell 2 battery storage with a Generac home standby generator for additional backup capability.
When stored battery energy becomes low, a properly configured system can automatically start the standby generator. The generator can provide electricity to the home while simultaneously recharging the battery.
Generator operation and backup duration remain subject to fuel availability.
For Tampa Bay homeowners concerned about longer storm-related outages, combining battery storage with standby generator power provides another option for maintaining energy availability when utility power is unavailable.
Generac has been providing backup power products since 1959 and has more than 65 years of experience in the industry.
PWRcell 2 brings that experience into home battery storage and intelligent energy management.
Generac provides U.S.-based support for homeowners who need help troubleshooting or resolving issues with their Generac products.
Generac maintains a nationwide network of installers trained and certified in Generac solar and battery solutions.
Adding home battery storage is a significant investment, but financing options may make it easier to add a Generac energy system to your home.
Generac products are available with flexible financing options that can help homeowners manage upfront costs through a payment plan that fits their budget.

PWRcell 2 is a smart home battery storage system that stores electricity for later use. It can charge using energy generated by solar panels or electricity supplied by the utility grid.
A solar battery stores electricity generated by solar panels rather than requiring all of that energy to be used immediately. The stored electricity can then be used later, including at night, during higher-rate periods, or when utility power is unavailable.
PWRcell 2 is a battery storage system. Solar panels are separate components of a home solar energy system.
PWRcell 2 can also charge from the utility grid, so battery storage is not limited exclusively to electricity generated by solar panels.
Battery storage allows homeowners to use stored solar electricity later instead of immediately relying on the grid.
Generac’s Bill Savings mode can also optimize battery use around Time-of-Use rates and demand charges where applicable.
