Watch: Creating an all-in home solar, battery storage and generator system with Generac

We are just at the start of an all-in home energy solution revolution – a combo of solar, battery storage and generator power. OK, so this has been a cobbled together solution off-grid for decades now, but big brands are putting their ingenuity and marketing muscle behind full systems that could take this concept mainstream. Russ Minick, chief marketing officer for Generac Power Systems, explains the work they are doing in this area and how solar installation businesses could benefit from this holistic system as well.
