New products offer smarter, more powerful and
resilient solutions to enable more choice and control in the way
people use sustainable energy sources
WAUKESHA, Wis., Sept. 10,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Generac Holdings (NYSE:
GNRC), a leading global designer, manufacturer and provider of
energy technology solutions and other power products, today
announced the launch of its new PWRcell 2 Home Energy Storage
System product series, featuring PWRcell 2 and PWRcell 2 MAX. These
products give homeowners more power, reliability and smarter
integration across their energy ecosystem.
PWRcell 2 delivers 18 kWh capacity in a single cabinet and 10 kW
max continuous power, enough power to start virtually any single
load in the home during an outage, including a 5-ton A/C unit.
PWRcell 2 MAX will feature even more power at launch, with 11.5 kW
max continuous power. It will also have the capability to start
loads greater than 200A LRA, higher efficiency and a broader
operating temperature range.
Both products are designed to integrate seamlessly
with Generac's family of generator products, giving customers
a smart, open ecosystem for greater resiliency and energy
independence. In the event of a multi-day power outage, customers
will have peace of mind with a paired PWRcell 2 and Generac brand
generator*. If the PWRcell 2 battery reserves are low, the
generator can power the home and recharge the battery
simultaneously, keeping families comfortable during extended
outages.
PWRcell 2 and PWRcell 2 MAX enable seamless home energy
management and feature native integration with ecobee smart
thermostats* providing an in-home display where homeowners can
monitor their storage system, helping them save on energy
bills.
When paired with PWRcell 2 or PWRcell 2 MAX, the ecobee smart
thermostat provides alert notifications and automatically adjusts
temperature set points during outages, preserving stored energy and
extending backup duration. PWRcell 2 will be available by the end
of the year and PWRcell 2 MAX will debut in the second half of
2025.
"With rising energy costs and increasingly frequent power
outages, home energy management is critical for our customers. With
PWRcell 2 and PWRcell 2 MAX, we are enabling smarter, powered homes
that deliver reliability and resilience while providing customers
the ability to quickly respond to their changing energy needs,"
said Generac President, Energy Technology, Norm Taffe. "The products function both as
standalone, next generation home energy storage systems and as part
of a cohesive smart energy ecosystem that provides resiliency and
greater savings on energy costs."
Generac continues to build a comprehensive ecosystem of
residential energy technology solutions available today, including
energy storage systems and energy management devices to provide
homeowners greater control over increasing resilient, efficient,
and sustainable energy sources. In addition to the new PWRcell 2
Home Energy Storage System products, and its line of generators,
Generac's portfolio also includes its state-of-the-art L2 EV
Charger, which began shipping in volume earlier this year.
PWRcell 2 and PWRcell 2 MAX are eligible for financing to
qualifying customers through Mosaic and Palmetto's Lightreach
financial products and will be made available on all the existing
Lightreach integrated 3rd party platforms at launch, with several
more financing platforms to follow.
