System Configuration
The Generac PWRcell system is a flexible, highly
customizable system that can be configured in a number
of ways to meet customer need. Correct system
configuration requires selecting the right equipment and
the correct operational mode for the system. See the
Generac PWRcell Inverter Owner’s Manual for
information on operational modes and other user-
configurable settings.
Enabling Islanding
Systems with the Generac PWRcell Battery must have
the EnaIslanding setpoint set to ON to island. This set-
point is accessible through the Mod. Settings menu via
the inverter device page. See the Generac PWRcell
Inverter Owner’s Manual for information on accessing
and adjusting the EnaIslanding setpoint.
