Generac PWRcell: The Smart Way to Integrate Solar + Backup Power

As more homeowners look to reduce their energy bills and prepare for power outages, solar energy and backup generators are becoming must-have solutions. But what if you could combine the two? Enter the Generac PWRcell—an advanced clean energy system that integrates solar power, battery storage, and intelligent energy management into one powerful solution.

At Alternative Power, we’re proud to offer the Generac PWRcell to homeowners who want energy independence, reliability, and sustainability—all in one package. Here’s what makes the PWRcell such a smart investment and how it can completely change the way you power your home.

What Is the Generac PWRcell?

The Generac PWRcell is a whole-home solar + battery storage system that allows you to:

Capture and store solar energy during the day
Use that stored energy to power your home at night or during outages
Monitor and manage your energy consumption in real-time

It’s not just a battery or a backup generator—it’s a fully integrated energy ecosystem that works seamlessly with rooftop solar panels and your existing electrical system.

1. Solar Power Meets Backup Protection

One of the biggest advantages of the PWRcell is that it does double duty: it helps you use more of your solar power (instead of sending it back to the grid) and it provides automatic backup power when the grid goes down.

During a power outage, PWRcell automatically switches to battery mode, keeping your essential appliances, lights, and even HVAC systems running without missing a beat. No noise, no fuel, no hassle.

2. Scalable and Customizable

Every home has different energy needs, and Generac built the PWRcell to be modular and scalable. You can start small and expand over time, adding battery modules or solar panels as your usage grows.

Whether you want to back up a few circuits or go fully off-grid, the PWRcell can be tailored to meet your goals now and in the future.

3. Smart Energy Management with PWRview

Included with every PWRcell system is PWRview, Generac’s intuitive app that gives you total visibility and control over your energy usage. You can:

Monitor real-time energy consumption
View solar production and battery status
Set preferences for how and when energy is stored or used
Optimize for savings or backup protection

PWRview helps you lower your electric bills and maximize your solar investment without lifting a finger.

4. A Cleaner, Quieter Alternative to Traditional Generators

Unlike gas-powered generators, the PWRcell is whisper-quiet and emission-free. It’s ideal for homeowners who want backup power without the noise, fuel storage, or maintenance that comes with a traditional generator.

It also aligns perfectly with clean energy goals and may qualify for federal and state incentives, including the 30% Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC).

Ready to Go Solar + Storage?

The Generac PWRcell is the smart, sustainable way to protect your home from outages while taking control of your energy use. Whether you’re looking to cut energy costs, increase your independence, or just be ready for the unexpected—this is the all-in-one solution you’ve been waiting for.

The entire house generator quote was effectively communicated through multiple emails and phone conversations. The sales person was well versed in the selection and electrical aspect of the needed work. Following the contract signing, Alternative Power secured city permits and scheduled the installation date. The physical and electrical installation process was completed within six hours, with preliminary electrical approvals obtained from the city inspector. The gas connection was finalized the following day. The start-up was scheduled for after four days of final electrical and gas inspections. The total time for the start-up process was three hours, including and excluding load. I requested the start-up checklist, which should have been provided at the conclusion of the start-up but was delayed for several days. A minor issue was the uncleaned electrical panels, which I vacuumed during the start-up process. It is essential that electrical panels are free from debris. Additionally, the dirt from the electrical conduit ditch was left on top of the nearby condensate drip collection point, which Alternative Power removed the following day.

Easy process from start to finish. Generator (Generac) had a few issues upon initial start up but they were figured out and fixed (not Alternatives fault). The customer service manager Theresa is a major force in getting situations worked out to the customers satisfaction after installation and when she says she will do something she does it! Our service tech Jeremy is great and kept us posted and took the time to explain the issues we were having. Pam in scheduling is great as well for the installation which took two days. She knows all the right people to call! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them again and we will be using them for all our Generac maintenance needs!
