Generac PWRcell SnapRS Settlement: Fund, Eligibility and Warranty Changes

What do “Current Owner” and “Primary User” mean?

• A Current Owner holds contractual ownership rights to the system.
• A Primary User is a homeowner or other occupant where the system is installed who pays for electric service there.
• One person can be both, but they do not have to be. Subject to the notice’s exclusions, either role may place a person in the class.

Which non-cash benefits are available?

• Educational materials about Snap-related failures are available to all Settlement Class Members.
• Warranty changes are available only for Systems purchased before May 2022.
• The notice does not describe the warranty changes themselves; it says the Settlement Agreement has the complete details.

The notice describes three financial benefit types. It presents the latter two as additional benefits, but payment depends on meeting the relevant requirements and submitting a valid claim.

• A valid claimant may receive a pro-rata share of the part of the fund set aside for eligible class members. A pro-rata share means the amount depends on how the allocated fund is divided among valid claims.
• A claimant with satisfactory evidence of a SnapRS-related out-of-pocket loss may also qualify for reimbursement of all or part of that loss.
• A claimant with satisfactory evidence of SnapRS-related lost energy generation in two or more months may also qualify for additional compensation.
• The notice gives no fixed dollar amount for any individual cash payment.

What proof is required for the cash benefits?

• For the pro-rata cash benefit, the notice says the claimant needs to establish Owner or Primary User status for an eligible system.
• For out-of-pocket-loss reimbursement, satisfactory evidence of a SnapRS-related financial loss is required.
• For generation-loss compensation, satisfactory evidence of SnapRS-related lost generation in at least two months is required.
• The notice says the Claim Form contains the detailed eligibility criteria. The supplied notice does not identify the particular documents or explain what evidence will be considered satisfactory.

How do I request cash benefits?

• Submit the Claim Form online or mail it to the Settlement Administrator.
• An online claim must be submitted, or a mailed claim postmarked, by August 24, 2026.
• The notice states that a claim is needed for every benefit described in its cash-benefit question. It does not require a claim for the educational materials or the warranty changes.

What if the system has both an Owner and a Primary User, and one person opts out?

• If a system has both a Current Owner and a Primary User, either person’s valid opt-out removes both people from this settlement for that system.
• Neither person may then make a settlement claim for that system.
• The notice says they will not release their claims against Generac and will be notified if they cannot receive benefits for this reason.

What is the difference between opting out and doing nothing?

• Opting out means leaving the settlement. An opt-out request may be mailed or submitted on the Settlement Website by July 20, 2026.
• A person who opts out cannot receive settlement benefits, but is not bound by the judgment.
• A person who stays in the settlement but does nothing does not receive money and gives up the released legal claims, although non-cash benefits may still be available.

How can I object while staying in the settlement?

• To object, a class member must submit a written objection by July 20, 2026.
• The objection has detailed required contents, including the case information, contact information, specific reasons, supporting documents, information about counsel and plans to appear, prior objections, and a signature or electronic equivalent.
• An objection is not an opt-out. A person can object only by remaining in the settlement.

When and how would an approved cash payment be sent?

• A payment is available only after the Court approves the settlement, it becomes final, and the claim is timely and approved.
• The notice does not provide a payment date.
• A claimant may choose from electronic payment options or a paper check. A current email address is important for electronic payment, and a current physical address is needed if selecting a check.
