Generac unveils second generation of PWRcell energy storage system

By Kelly Pickerel | September 10, 2024

Generac has unveiled the new PWRcell 2 Home Energy Storage System product series, featuring PWRcell 2 and PWRcell 2 MAX.

PWRcell 2 delivers 18 kWh capacity in a single cabinet and 10 kW max continuous power. 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 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 Norm Taffe, Generac President of Energy Technology. “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.”
