Frequently Asked Questions

A Court authorized this Notice because you have the right to know about the proposed Settlement of this class action lawsuit and all of your rights and options before the Court decides to grant Final Approval of the Settlement. This Notice explains the lawsuit, the Settlement, your legal rights, what benefits are available, who is eligible for the benefits, and how to get them.

The Honorable Lynn Adelman of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin is overseeing this class action. The lawsuit is known as In re: Generac Solar Power Systems Marketing Sales Practices and Products Liability Litigation, MDL No. 3078 (“Action”). The persons who filed this Action are called the “Plaintiffs” and/or “Class Representatives” and the companies sued, Generac Holdings Inc. and Generac Power Systems, Inc., are called the “Defendants.”

This class action lawsuit claims that certain components of PWRcell Solar Power Systems, called SnapRS devices, may overheat, melt, or fail, causing system shutdowns and performance issues with the system as a whole.

Defendants deny these allegations and deny 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.

In a class action, one or more people (called plaintiff(s) or class representative(s)) sue on behalf of all people who have similar legal claims. Together, all these people are called a “class” or “class members.” If the plaintiffs and defendants reach a settlement, the court resolves the issues for all class members via the settlement, except for those class members who timely opt out (exclude themselves) from the settlement.

The proposed Class Representatives in this lawsuit are Plaintiffs Robert Ammon, Marcia Baltimore, Nicole Kibert Basler, John Bettorf, Paul Cartmell, Steve Cothren, Geoff Edwards, Miles Fawcett, Joel Galarza, Melissa Gibson, Daniel Haak, Christopher Helmers, Kevin Hemphill, Albert Kates, Craig Lauder, Kathryn Locatell, Jodi Matas, Dustin Moon, Lori Morse, Adam Plichta, Jason Poston, Anita Richardson, Michael Shirk, Allan Slater, Carolyn Slusher, Rabia Stevenson, Beverly Taylor, Margaret Venema, Kerri Vincent, James Ward, and Mark Wasserman.

Plaintiffs and Defendants do not agree about the legal claims made in the Action. The Action has not gone to trial, and the Court has not decided in favor of Plaintiffs or Defendants. Instead, Plaintiffs and Defendants have agreed to settle the Action. The Class Representatives believe the Settlement is best for all individuals in the Settlement Class because of the benefits available to the Settlement Class and the risks and uncertainty associated with continuing the Action.

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 Primary User of a Generac PWRcell Systems purchased in the United States before January 9, 2026.

• Current Owner 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.

Yes. Excluded from the Settlement Class are (i) Defendants, their subsidiaries and affiliates, officers, directors, and employees; (ii) the judge to whom these cases are or have been assigned and any member of the judge’s immediate family; (iii) any persons who timely exclude themselves from the Settlement Class in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6; (iv) Class Counsel and counsel for Defendants; and (v) Owners or Primary Users of systems provided by Generac through grants awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy, with respect to such systems.

If you are still not sure whether you are a Settlement Class Member, you may review the Settlement Agreement or call the Settlement Administrator’s toll-free telephone number at 1-855-707-4196.

Generac will provide $15,000,000 into a Settlement Fund, which will include payments to eligible Class Members who submit a Valid Claim in accordance with Section 3.11 of the settlement agreement.

Certain Settlement Class Members will receive non-monetary benefits in the form of warranty changes. All Settlement Class Members will receive non-monetary educational materials for Snap-related failures. Complete details are available in the Settlement Agreement (section 3.7) available HERE.

You must submit a timely Valid Claim Form to be eligible to receive a cash payment.

In addition to the non-monetary benefits, there are three types of financial benefits available to eligible Class Members.

• A portion of the Settlement Fund has been allocated to compensate ALL eligible Class Members. Those who submit Valid Claims will receive a pro-rata share of that fund. A Class Member need only establish their status as Owner or Primary User of an eligible PWRcell system to qualify for this benefit.
• Additionally, Class Members who can provide satisfactory evidence of out-of-pocket financial losses associated with a SnapRS-related problem may be eligible for reimbursement of all or some of that loss.
• Finally, Class Members who can provide satisfactory evidence of loss of energy generation associated with a SnapRS-related problem in 2 or more months may be eligible for additional compensation.

Details regarding the eligibility criteria for these awards can be found on the Claim Form. Note that where a PWRcell System has both a current Owner and Primary User and either Class Member submits a valid opt out notice as set forth below, both will be opted out and will be ineligible to make a claim under the settlement, but will not release their claims against Defendants.

Unless you opt out of the Settlement, you are choosing to remain in the Settlement Class. If the Settlement is approved and becomes final, all Court orders will apply to you and legally bind you. You will not be able to sue, continue to sue, or be part of any other lawsuit against the Released Parties, including Defendants, about the legal issues in this lawsuit that are released by this Settlement. The specific rights you are giving up are called “Released Claims.”

The Settlement Agreement in Section 12 describes the Release, in necessary legal terminology, so please read this section carefully. The Settlement Agreement is available HERE or in the public Court records on file in this lawsuit. For questions regarding the Release and what the language in the Settlement Agreement means, you can also contact Class Counsel listed in Question 15 for free, or you can talk to your own lawyer at your own expense.

To receive any of the benefits described in Question 8, you must submit Claim Form, postmarked or submitted online by August 24, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. CDT. Claim Forms may be submitted online HERE or printed from the Settlement Website and mailed to the Settlement Administrator at the address on the Claim Form.

If you submit a timely and Approved Claim, payment will be made to you by the Settlement Administrator after the Settlement is approved by the Court and becomes final.

It may take time for the Settlement to be approved and become final. Please be patient and check this website for updates.

As noted above, where a PWRcell System has both a current Owner and Primary User and either Class Member submits a valid opt out notice as set forth below, both will be opted out and will be ineligible to make a claim under the Settlement, but will not release their claims against Defendants. You will be notified if you cannot receive Settlement benefits for this reason.

Several electronic payment options will be available, or you can elect a check. If you submit a timely Claim Form for payment, and if your claim and the Settlement are finally approved, you will be sent an electronic payment to the electronic payment option that you select when you file your claim, or will be sent a paper check if you select that option. Please ensure you have provided a current and complete email address. If you select a paper check, the Settlement Administrator will attempt to send you a check to the physical address submitted on your Claim Form.

You cannot opt out by telephone.

“Mass” or “class” requests for exclusion filed by third parties on behalf of a “mass” or “class” of Settlement Class Members or multiple Settlement Class Members where an opt out has not been signed by each and every individual Settlement Class Member will not be allowed.

Any Settlement Class Member who does not file a timely Request for Exclusion will lose the opportunity to exclude himself or herself from the Settlement and will be bound by the Settlement.

No. If you opt out, you will not be entitled to receive any Settlement benefits, but you will not be bound by any judgment in this lawsuit. You can only get Settlement benefits if you stay in the Settlement and submit a Valid Claim.

No. Unless you opt out, you give up any right to sue Defendants and other Released Parties for the legal claims this Settlement resolves and Releases relating to the Action. You must opt out of the lawsuit to start or continue with your own lawsuit or be part of any other lawsuit against Defendants or other Released Parties. If you have a pending lawsuit, speak to your lawyer in that case immediately.

If you are a Settlement Class Member, you can tell the Court you do not agree with all or any part of the Settlement and/or Class Counsel’s motion for attorneys’ fees and expenses.

To object, you must mail a timely, written objection stating that you object. Your objection must be postmarked by July 20, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. CDT.

The objection must also include all of the following information:

1. Identify the case name and number.
2. The Settlement Class Member’s full name, current mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
3. A statement that states with specificity the grounds for the objection, as well as any documents supporting the objection.
4. A statement as to whether the objection applies only to the objector, to a specific subset of the class, or to the entire class.
5. The identity of any attorneys representing the objector.
6. A statement regarding whether the Settlement Class Member (or their attorney) intends to appear at the Final Approval Hearing.
7. A list of all other matters in which the objecting Settlement Class Member and/or their attorney has lodged an objection to a class action settlement.

To be timely, Class Members must electronically file with the Court via the Court’s ECF system, or by delivery to the Clerk of the Court by mail, express mail, or personal delivery, a written statement of the objection(s), and send copies to Class Counsel and Defendants’ Counsel. Objections must be postmarked (if mailed) or electronically filed with the Court by July 20, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. CDT.

Any Settlement Class Member who fails to comply with the requirements for objecting detailed above will waive and forfeit any and all rights they may have to appear separately and/or to object to the Settlement Agreement and will be bound by all the terms of the Settlement Agreement and by all proceedings, orders, and judgments in the lawsuit.

Objecting is simply telling the Court you do not like something about some aspect of the Settlement. You can object only if you stay in the Settlement Class (meaning you do not opt out of the Settlement). Opting out of the Settlement is telling the Court you do not want to be part of the Settlement Class or the Settlement. If you opt out, you cannot object to the Settlement.

The Court will hold a Final Approval Hearing on October 21, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. CDT before the Honorable Lynn Adelman of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, 517 E. Wisconsin Ave, Courtroom 390, Milwaukee, WI 53202.

At this hearing, the Court will consider whether the Settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate and decide whether to approve the Settlement, Class Counsel’s application for attorneys’ Fee Awards and Service Awards. If there are objections, the Court will consider them. The Court will also listen to Settlement Class Members who have asked to speak at the hearing.

Note: The Court may opt to hold the hearing in person, via Zoom, or via conference call, or may determine that a hearing is not necessary. Additionally, the date and time of the Final Approval Hearing are subject to change. These details and any changes will be posted at www.GeneracSnapSettlement.com.

No. Class Counsel will answer any questions the Court may have. However, you are welcome to attend at your own expense. If you mail an objection, you do not have to attend the Final Approval Hearing to speak about it. As long as you mail your written objection on time, the Court will consider it.

Yes, provided you have properly submitted an objection using the process described above, you can (but do not have to) participate and speak for yourself at the Final Approval Hearing. This is called making an appearance. You also can have your own lawyer speak for you, but you will have to pay for the lawyer yourself.

If you want to appear, or if you want your own lawyer instead of Class Counsel to speak for you at the Final Approval Hearing, you must follow all of the procedures for objecting to the Settlement listed in Question 20 above—and specifically include a statement whether you and your lawyer will appear at the Final Approval Hearing.

If you are a Settlement Class Member and you do nothing, you will not receive any monetary Settlement benefits, and you will give up rights explained in the “Opting Out of the Settlement” section of this notice, including your right to start a lawsuit, continue with a lawsuit, or be part of any other lawsuit against any of the Released Parties, including Defendants, about the legal issues in this lawsuit that are released by the Settlement Agreement relating to the Action.
