Note on system design and procurement:
This note is intended to help system designers, purchasers and PV installers plan for a successful Harbor Smart Battery installation on a timeline. Please familiarize yourself with this list of tasks and their timing relative to your projected installation date.
Complete the following up to two weeks prior to installation:
- First, verify that the installation location meets all site requirements, per the installation manual.
- Familiarize yourself with all manuals and instructional videos.
- Design your system according to Pika approved guidelines.
- Place your order early: shipping-times for battery modules may exceed 10-days.

Pre-approved Generac PWRcell Single-line Diagrams
Reference these drawings when designing with the PWRcell system. If your design is not described by one of these drawings, we encourage you to contact Generac technical support for design clearance.| Diagram Description | Diagram Control Number | Download Link | Application Notes |
| Grid-connected Storage-system, PV-ready | SD0312 | Download | This design shows a PWRcell system with a Protected Loads Panel to provide backup power to loads (12 kW surge, 8 kW continuous). Condominiums and rented spaces utilize this design where accessibility for PV is not possible. |
| Storage-ready Grid-Connected System | SD1111 | Download | This design shows a PWRcell system in the traditional net-metering configuration sourced by PV power. There are un-utilized DC inputs that may be utilized for additional PV or to add battery storage in the future. |
| Basic Solar-plus-Storage System | SD1312 | Download | This design shows a PWRcell system with a Protected Loads Panel to provide backup power to loads (12 kW surge, 8 kW continuous). |
| Solar-plus-storage System with Line-side Tap | SD1313 | Download | This design shows a PWRcell system ready for net-metering sourced by PV power. There are un-utilized DC inputs that may be utilized for additional PV or to add battery storage in the future. |
| Solar-plus-storage System with On-site Generator (not integrated). | SD231B | Download | This design shows a PWRcell system configured with an on-site generator. This design isolates the generator from the inverter and involves a line-side tap and two transfer switches. The inverter output supports a loads panel that can also be transferred to the generator. |
| Solar-plus-storage 100A Residential Service | SD131E | Download | This design shows a PWRcell system with a Protected Loads panel to provide backup power to loads. This design uses the sum rule approach for the load-side connection of an energy storage system. |
| String Design for High-voltage PV Modules | SDHVPV | Download | This drawing shows the recommended string design for High Voltage PV modules connected to a PV Link. Generac defines these modules as having open circuit voltage (Voc) of 60V or greater and short circuit current of 7 or less. **More modules may acceptable in warmer climates.
