Generac Beacon
Generac Beacon allows the PWRcell system to manage
energy production and storage over the course of the
day. This is called Time of Use (TOU) energy
management. To take advantage of this functionality, the
PWRcell system must include a PWRcell battery and a
reliable connection to the Internet via an Ethernet
connection to a router.
