A. Generac PWRCell is an energy storage system for homes that works with solar and the grid to keep your home powered during an outage, sell power back to the grid, or provide self-sustained power for off-grid applications. Battery cabinets contain battery modules that expand the system from 9kWh to 36kWh. An inverter provides power to the house. If battery levels drop too low, a generator can help charge the batteries. When the power goes out, solar panels power the home during the day. As power production slows and stop, the batteries take over until morning.

A. The basic PWRCell system includes a battery cabinet, 3 battery modules, an inverter, and a switch. The switch disconnects the grid during a power outage so your solar and battery storage system keep your home powered. During the day, solar provides power to the home and charges the batteries. If the power goes out at night, power from the batteries provide power to the home. Batteries can charge from solar, the grid, or from a backup generator.

A. The right size portable generator in combination with a manual transfer switch can power a house. A generator cord makes the connection between a 240-volt outlet on the generator to a 240-volt inlex box that connects to the transfer switch. The switch distributes power to specific circuits selected at the time of installation. During an outage, while under generator power, only the circuits in the transfer switch receive power. This configuration allows hard-wired circuits like furnaces and well pumps to receive power.

A. Sometimes called solar generators, Portable Power Stations store electrical energy in a portable battery or an array of batteries. They can provide a range of voltages in both AC and DC current for use wherever needed. A power station with enough capacity can power a refrigerator, lights, and small appliances during a power outage. The higher the storage capacity, measured in watt-hours, the longer it provide power. Charging options include solar, AC wall outlet, and DC car outlets. Some can charge from an EV charging station. Some Power Stations provide backup power for an entire home.

A. There are many variables, including whether the generator is required or is an optional standby system. It is possible to estimate the size, but an electrician should perform a load calculation to determine the optimum commercial generator size. Input from local code authorities may add requirements. Generally speaking, an optional standby generator for a commercial building will have enough capacity for the calculated load plus some margin.

A. For mobile homes, fifth-wheel RVs, and some vans and truck campers, the best generator is an onboard RV generator that will run your air conditioners and the rest of your appliances when you're away from shore power. RVs without a dedicated generator space or mounting system can choose a portable RV generator without giving up much in terms of convenience.

A. An onboard generator is mounted on a vehicle. Commercial vehicles like food trucks and emergency vehicles such as ambulances and fire trucks have an onboard generator to provide power without a grid connection. A commercial vehicle generator usually runs on the same fuel as the vehicle and may draw from the main fuel tank or an auxilliary tank. Diesel and gasoline are common fuels, but propane and compressed natural gas (CNG) have their place. Generators for recreation vehicles are usually referred to as RV Generators.

A. A Prime Power Generator is the primary source of power for a specific application. Manufacturers design these robust machines to operate 24/7. Some have extended maintenance periods. They differ from other generators that operate as a temporary source of power during a power outage or other applications. Prime power generator fuel choices include diesel, natural gas, and propane.
