MOORESVILLE, N.C., April 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today,
POWERHOME announced a partnership with Generac Power Systems, an
American manufacturer of backup power generation products for
residential and commercial markets. POWERHOME now provides
customers with a complete energy package that includes Generac
battery storage components and generators with any solar panel
installation.
A Generac solar battery system, known as the PWRcell, is
scalable and can store between 8.6 and 17.1 kilowatt hours of
energy. PWRcell batteries offer backup power and smart energy
management based on customer needs. PWRcell's modular design allows
for easy customization for any home or budget.
In addition to solar panels and batteries, the POWERHOME package
will offer Generac's automatic home backup generators that run on
natural gas or propane. The generators, which range in size from
7.5kW to 150kW, automatically deliver power during an outage and
can back up an entire home.
"When we install a solar battery as part of a solar panel
system, it allows the homeowner to store excess electricity instead
of sending it back to the grid. When solar panels aren't producing
electricity, particularly at night, homeowners can use the energy
stored by the PWRcell battery," said POWERHOME CEO Jayson Waller. "Generac's battery technology and
its generators will give our customers greater peace of mind in
ensuring their home has power whenever they need it."
The addition of solar panel systems, along with batteries, are
eligible for a 26 percent federal tax credit that runs through the
end of 2020.
"Generac has created the market for and is the leader in
residential backup power," said Michael
Rather, vice president of sales for Generac. "Partnering
with POWERHOME enables us to provide a complete package to help
customers harness, store and utilize solar power to save money on
utility bills, increase the use of renewable energy and prepare for
outages."
