Owner’s Manual for Generac PWRCell Inverter

Ethernet Configuration

Ethernet Setup

For the inverter to communicate with the Generac server

an Ethernet cable with a valid Internet connection must

be plugged into the inverter Ethernet port. 

A  blue  Internet  LED  indicates  the  inverter  has  a

successful connection to the PWRview server.

If Internet LED is not illuminated, see the Generac

PWRcell  Inverter  Installation  Manual  for

troubleshooting and connection instructions. 

NOTE: 

It is the installer’s responsibility to make sure the

Internet  connection  is  reliable  and  secure.  Generac

recommends  always  using  a  hardwired  connection.

Generac  does  not  recommend  or  support  using  any

wireless or power line carrier network devices. Use these

devices at your own discretion.

Serial Number and Registration

NOTE: 

Registering an inverter automatically registers all

REbus system components connected to that inverter. 

Every REbus-enabled device can be monitored from the

PWRview™ online monitoring system and mobile app. 
To register a system for PWRview monitoring: 

1.

See 

Figure  3-14

Locate  the  serial  number  and

registration  code  on  the  registration  decal  on  the

front  of  the  inverter.  This  information  will  be

required for registration.

2.

Navigate to 

https://pwrfleet.generac.com

 or if

using  a  mobile  device  scan  the  registration  label

QR code.

3.

Follow  the  on-screen  prompts  to  complete  the

profile.
