Generac Generator Features and Benefits
In 2009, Generac standby generators received the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval.
Five years later, Frost & Sullivan—a recognized leader in the information and growth consulting industry—presented Generac with the 2014 Natural Gas Generator Company of the Year award for their continuous efforts to identify industry needs and bring new natural gas products to the market in residential, industrial, commercial, mobile and general generator applications.
Generac was the first manufacturer to utilize an engine designed specifically for the performance requirements of a generator. The Generac backup generator for home uses an Overhead Valve Industrial (OHVI) engine with features like a plateau-honed cast-iron cylinder walls which promote heat dissipation for longer engine life. The plasma-filled moly rings reduce oil consumption and engine wear. A fully pressurized lubrication system keeps critical bearings and other parts immersed in oil at all angles of operation. Low oil shutdown prevents engine damage, and the dual element air filter extends service intervals while protecting the engine from dirt.
Generac Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS) are designed with state of the art features to ease standby generator installation and operation. They manage power for entire homes or a few essential circuits. Their manual transfer switches safely connect a home's electrical system to a Generac portable generator.
Generac PWRcell Clean Energy Whole Home Power
From the company that invented the home backup generator and manufactures the leading home generator brand comes the Generac PWRcell Solar + Battery Storage Whole Home Power system. Generac PWRcell fulfills the promise of Solar Power with electricity from the sun for home or business.
Generac PWRcell is a fully managed system that operates efficiently during an outage to keep a home or business functioning with power for critical and essential circuits. The PWRcell inverter can charge a PWRcell Solar Battery from the grid or from solar panels. It supplies power to the main circuit breaker panel instead of a subpanel, making electricity available to the entire home instead of a few selected circuits.
During an outage or utility blackout, the PWRcell Automatic Transfer Switch islands the system from the grid and keeps supplying power from the solar panels until the sun goes down. Competing systems begin drawing on battery power immediately. When the sun no longer reaches the panels, the solar battery is already partially discharged. The system keeps the PWRcell Solar Battery Bank charged until darkness, then uses the battery to power your home or business through the night.
PWRcell easily scales from 9kWh to 18kWh of energy storage with additional battery modules and to 36kWh with a second battery cabinet.
Generac Guardian Home Standby Generators—the best-selling home backup generators in the country—install just 18 inches from the home and include Mobile Link Wireless Remote Monitoring. 
Generac’s 22-kilowatt Guardian standby generator provides quiet, dependable power while using less fuel than a comparable 20kW unit and costs less too. 
Generac Liquid-Cooled Protector Gas, Protector Diesel, and Commercial Series Standby Generators add the reliability of a automotive-style engine and more power for larger homes, estates, agricultural operations, and commercial applications. 
Generac PWRcell Whole Home Solar Power with Automatic Transfer Switch and Battery Storage System Powers the Entire Main Circuit Breaker Panel for Power All Day and All Night. 
The PWRview Smart Phone displays energy usage in real time for a better understanding of your home energy use and the power and knowledge to change how and when you use power for a lifetime of energy savings.
