The Generac PWRcell power system is an intelligent energy storage system for backup power. It pairs well with solar panel systems, making a PWRcell installation an excellent choice for residents all throughout the Sacramento area. This backup battery system is sized for day-to-day use for when your solar panels produce more electricity than you can effectively use in your home.
Storing excess electricity in your PWRcell equipment means it doesn’t get sent back into the grid. This way, if your panels aren’t producing enough electricity later on due to inclement weather, you have the stored energy to use rather than needing to pay for energy from the utility company.
