Product Line: PWRcell™ Solar + Battery Storage System
Manufacturer: Generac (Our Store Page | Company Page)
Generac is the latest manufacturer to join the BayWa r.e. Solar Systems energy storage product line card. The August 2020 announcement of this exciting partnership coincided with Generac’s newly launched PWRcell Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) series.
The PWRcell ATS gives homeowners the ability to bypass the need for a main service panel upgrade when installing solar+storage, and allows them to back up their home’s main panel via power from the Generac PWRcell Battery Cabinet and PWRcell Inverter connected to the ATS service panel.
One of the most groundbreaking features of the ATS series is point load control of heavy equipment on the site when installed in conjunction with Generac’s Smart Management Modules (SMMs). The Generac SMMs power down select heavy loads and stagger their restart during a power outage. This ability to “pause” larger, low-priority loads — and prioritize their restart enables customers to continue using appliances that might otherwise exceed the systems backup capability under normal circumstances.
