Protect Your Home with
the Most Reliable Home Generators

The #1 Selling Brand of Home Standby Generators

A permanently installed Generac home backup generator protects your home automatically. It runs on natural gas or liquid propane (LP) fuel, sits outside just like a central air conditioning unit, and delivers power directly to your home’s electrical system.

Whether you want to power your entire home during an outage, or just keep critical systems running, Day One Solar offers standby generator solutions to meet your specific needs.

Features and Benefits

True Power™ Technology delivers utility-grade power quality with less than 5 percent total harmonic distortion for clean, smooth operation of sensitive electronics and appliances.

Generac’s G-Force™ Engine is a purpose-built, pressure-lubricated engine capable of handling the rigors of generator use, resulting in power that’s more reliable and requires less routine maintenance than any competitive engine. Generac’s new G-Force engine features hydraulic lifters – improving engine performance and extending the life of the product. (Hydraulic lifters only available on the 13 & 16 kW)

Quiet-Test™ Self-Test Mode runs at a lower RPM for a five or twelve minute test, making generators significantly quieter than other brands while consuming less fuel.

Tough, Durable All-Aluminum Enclosure with RhinoCoat™ powder-coated finish helps make corrosion-resistant aluminum perfect for all weather conditions.

Smart, User-Friendly Controls Generac’s Evolution™ Controller features a multilingual LCD display that allows users to monitor battery status and track maintenance intervals to ensure your generator is always in top operating condition.

Mobile Link™ Wi-Fi Connectivity FREE with every Guardian Series Home Standby Generator allows you to monitor the status of your generator from anywhere in the world using a smartphone, tablet, or PC. Easily access information, such as the current operating status and the generator’s maintenance schedule. Connect your account to your authorized service dealer for fast, friendly and convenient assistance. With Mobile Link you are taken care of before the new power outage.
