Settlement Information
A proposed settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Generac Holdings Inc. (‘Holdings”) and Generac Power Systems, Inc (“Generac”) (collectively, “Defendants”) relating to certain components of Generac PWRcell solar power systems (“Systems”) called SnapRS devices. The lawsuit claims these devices may overheat, melt, or fail, causing shutdowns and performance issues with the systems as a whole. Generac denies these allegations and denies any wrongdoing or liability. The Court has not decided who is right. Instead, Plaintiffs and Defendants have agreed to a settlement to avoid the risk, cost, and time of continuing the Action.
Please read the notice carefully. Your legal rights will be affected, and you have a choice to make at this time.
Who Is a Class Member?
You are part of the Settlement Class if you are an entity or individual residing in the United States and are the current Owner and/or the Primary User of Generac PWRcell Systems purchased in the United States before January 9, 2026. Certain Settlement Class Members are pre-qualified, which simplifies the submission as pre-qualified Settlement Class Members will not need to show System ownership in order to submit an Easy Pay Option for a System Claim. If you received a post card regarding this settlement, you have already been pre-qualified as a Settlement Class Member.
Current Owners are defined as any person or entity that holds contractual ownership rights to a PWRcell System. Primary User means a homeowner or other occupant of the property where a PWRcell System is installed who is financially responsible for the electric service on the premises. Primary User may, but does not have to, be the Owner—and vice versa. Owners or Primary Users of Systems provided by Generac through grants awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy are excluded from the Settlement Class.
