Owner’s Manual for Generac PWRcell Inverter

General Information

Internet LED

Internet  LED  (G)  is  illuminated  when  the  inverter  is

connected  to  a  router  and  has  an  IP  address.  See

Ethernet Configuration

.

NOTE: 

A  blue  Internet  LED  does  not  mean  that  the

inverter has a connection to with the Generac server.

Shutdown Mode

NOTE: 

A loss of grid power will not de-energize REbus

in  a  PWRcell  system  configured  to  island  with  enabled

energy storage.
Shutdown button  (E)  activates  a  transition  to  shutdown

system mode. Use of the shutdown system mode is only

intended for servicing and troubleshooting equipment. It

is not intended to be utilized to meet NEC rapid shutdown

requirements. 

Shutdown  mode  signals  all  communicating  PWRcell

equipment on REbus, including the PWRcell inverter, to

disable.  Disabled  PWRcell  equipment  will  drop  their

output voltages to safe levels. 
To enter shutdown, press and hold shutdown button (E). 
In shutdown mode:

PWRcell  inverter  will  stop  sourcing  power  to

REbus, and immediately disable all communicating

power  sources  on  REbus  by  sending  a  system-

wide system mode change signal.

NOTE: 

  Successful  signal  transmission  relies  upon

proper  configuration  of  PLM  channels  across  REbus

devices (PV Links and Batteries).

Shutdown LED (F) will illuminate.

Disabled PWRcell batteries will open their REbus

contacts.

Inverter screen (A) will display REbus DC bus volt

-

age  and  text  indicting  shutdown  mode  has  been

initiated.

NOTE: 

The  AC  section  of  the  inverter  will  still  be

energized  unless  the  building  AC  disconnect  or  main

service breaker is shut off.

System Modes Overview

Generac  PWRcell  offers  several  system  modes  for  various  installation  configurations,  markets,  and  applications.

Connected REbus devices work together to manage the distribution of power based on the selected system mode. 
Some modes interact with PWRcell batteries to store power and/or balance production and consumption. 
See 

Table 2-1

 and 

Table 2-2

 for an overview of available system modes.

Grid Tie

In  Grid  Tie  mode,  the  PWRcell  inverter  functions  as  a

conventional  grid-tied  inverter  system.  The  system

powers  local  loads  and  when  generation  exceeds  load

demand,  excess power is  exported  to the  utility for net

metering and other credits.

NOTE: 

Grid Tie is intended for use with systems that do

not  include  a  PWRcell  battery.  For  systems  where  a

PWRcell battery will be connected at a later date, operate

in Grid Tie mode until the battery is installed.

DANGER

Electrocution. Initiate a system-wide shutdown and turn the 
PWRcell DC Disconnect Switch OFF on all connected 
batteries before performing service. Failure to do so will 
result in death, serious injury, or equipment and property 
damage.
