Generac is now in the inverter game after releasing a two-panel, 820-W microinverter. The Generac PWRmicro is backed by a 25-year warranty.
“For more than 65 years, we’ve been a trusted name in energy resilience with a proven track record built on quality and reliability, and today we’re raising the bar again,” said Norm Taffe, EVP and president of energy technology for Generac. “We’re proud to launch a solution that will help redefine solar power for homeowners, demonstrating our commitment to developing holistic, next-generation energy solutions for homeowners. We are uniquely positioned to serve our customers and help shape the future of how homes stay powered and families stay safe.”
Generac’s microinverter is instantly discovered through the Generac Field Pro program before commissioning, which streamlines the installation process and reduces setup time. With power line communication and firmware directly stored on Field Pro, Generac’s mobile application designed for installers and technicians makes installation and troubleshooting fast and easy. Firmware updates happen overnight reducing commissioning time, and live device data and system self-test can help troubleshoot common installation issues.
“With more power, robust reliability and a streamlined design, PWRmicro empowers homeowners to get the most from their solar investment while giving installers a faster, simpler and more confident installation experience,” said Jim Dawe, SVP and general manager of clean energy for Generac. “Our solution delivers powerful performance, installer-friendly design and total reliability, giving homeowners peace of mind.”
Beginning in Q4, Generac is expanding its unified home energy management experience by bringing its clean energy products, including PWRcell and PWRmicro, into the ecobee app and supported ecobee thermostats. Homeowners will be able to seamlessly monitor and control both their clean energy systems and ecobee devices from one place.
