Generac PWRcell &
Energy Storage
Backup power is just the beginning. The Generac PWRcell is a fully integrated energy storage system that lets you capture, store, and manage energy on your own terms — reducing your reliance on the grid and lowering utility costs.
A single PWRcell battery delivers up to 9kW of continuous backup power, enough to run essential systems or an entire home. Pair it with a generator for a complete home energy ecosystem that keeps you protected and lowers your utility costs.
IllumiGEN is a certified Generac PWRcell installer, and one of the only companies on Long Island qualified to design and install these systems. We handle the full process: system design, electrical integration, permitting, and activation.
-
Start with what you need today and expand as your energy demands grow. The PWRcell system is modular, so you can add battery capacity over time without replacing your existing setup.
-
Pair your PWRcell with a Generac generator and grid power for multiple layers of energy security. If one source goes down, the others keep your home running.
-
PWRcell stores energy during off-peak hours when rates are lower, then uses that stored energy during peak times when electricity costs more. Over time, this adds up to meaningful savings on your utility bill.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Generac recommends servicing your generator at least once a year, or every 200 hours of use — whichever comes first. An annual maintenance visit typically includes an oil and filter change, spark plug inspection, battery check, and a full load test. IllumiGEN offers maintenance contracts that keep your system on schedule so you never have to think about it.
-
The right size depends on your home’s electrical load — specifically, which systems you want to keep running during an outage. A typical Long Island home needs between 14kW and 26kW for whole-home coverage. IllumiGEN provides a free on-site assessment to calculate your exact needs, so you get the right system without overpaying.
-
Yes. Generator installations on Long Island require electrical and building permits from your local municipality. Setback requirements and noise regulations vary by town. IllumiGEN handles the full permitting process for every installation — we know the local codes and work with municipal offices regularly to keep your project on track.
-
Absolutely. You are not required to use the dealer that originally installed your generator. IllumiGEN services all Generac models regardless of who did the installation. Switching is simple — just call us to schedule your first service visit and we’ll take it from there.
-
A typical residential installation takes one to two days once permits are approved. The full timeline from assessment to activation is usually two to four weeks, depending on equipment availability and your municipality’s permit processing time. IllumiGEN manages the entire process and keeps you informed at every step
-
A standby generator is permanently installed outside your home and turns on automatically when the power goes out — you don’t have to do anything. A portable generator requires manual setup, fuel management, and extension cords, and can only power a few appliances at a time. For reliable whole-home backup, a standby generator is the professional-grade solution.
-
Yes. We partner with Synchrony to offer 0% financing options on residential generator installations and other qualifying projects. Prequalification is quick and won’t affect your credit score. We also help customers take advantage of available rebates and incentives through NYSERDA and PSEG Long Island.
-
Your Generac standby generator detects the outage within seconds and starts automatically through an automatic transfer switch. It supplies power to your home until utility power is restored, then shuts itself off. The entire process happens whether you’re home or not. With Mobile Link, you’ll also receive a notification on your phone so you always know your status.
