Generac PWRcell in Del Rey
The Generac PWRcell is a modular battery system using 3 kWh battery modules (3–6 modules per cabinet) for 9–18 kWh per cabinet. It pairs with the PWRcell inverter and supports whole-home backup. Generac's generator heritage makes it a trusted name for backup power in the Central Valley.
Del Rey is a tight-knit agricultural community in central Fresno County, tucked between Fresno and Sanger along the citrus and grape growing corridor. Served by ZIP code 93616, Del Rey's residential neighborhoods are predominantly older single-family homes on flat valley terrain — the kind of unobstructed, south-facing rooftops that solar installers love. Summer temperatures in Del Rey regularly hit 100–107°F from June through September, and PG&E bills for a typical 1,600–2,200 sq ft home run $220–$380 during peak cooling months. The community's agricultural character means most homeowners are practical, long-term thinkers who understand the value of owning an asset outright — which is exactly how Robbins Energy approaches solar. No leases, no PPAs, no 20-year contracts. You own your system from day one. Del Rey's proximity to Sanger means Fresno County Building Department processes permits for this area, and Robbins Energy has navigated that process many times for homeowners in this corridor.
