Why choose PWRcell 2?:Reliable, long-lasting whole-home backup.
Save more, gain energy independence, and enjoy peace of mind with the Generac PWRcell 2—reliable backup power when you need it most.2

Save more on your utility bills
When your solar system produces more energy than it needs to power your home, PWRcell 2 stores the surplus for use at night or when rates are highest. It can also recharge from the grid when rates are low.

Smarter savings during peak hours
Solar panels generate power when the sun is out, but energy demand often peaks after dark. With variable-rate plans, PWRcell 2 can use your stored energy when utility prices peak, saving you money.

Life uninterrupted
Backup is only useful when you can rely on it. While traditional solar panel systems stop working when the grid goes down, PWRcell 2 keeps life running smoothly in outages and is backed by a 10-year warranty.

Backup that’s bottomless
Pair PWRcell 2 with a Generac generator for virtually unlimited backup.** When the battery depletes, the generator kicks in to power the home and recharge the PWRcell 2, which switches back on when ready.
**Subject to fuel availability.
2PWRcell 2 works with solar panels from most manufacturers and is compatible with most UL1741 listed interactive (non-grid-forming) microinverters.
How it works:An integration designed for your lifestyle.
ecobee and Generac have designed an intelligent ecosystem that enhances comfort and convenience, and equips homeowners with real-time data about their Generac solar battery solutions from their ecobee thermostat and mobile app.

Link your devices with ease
