Solo: A Simpler Way to Sell Backup Power

The Sales Platform Behind the Generac Generator Subscription Program

Solo gives approved Generac partners one place to quote, qualify, contract, and manage generator subscription projects—from the initial proposal through installation and annual service.

A new way for Generac dealers to offer home backup power

Sticker shock shouldn’t kill a deal before the customer even sees the value. The generator subscription program completely flips the script, swapping massive upfront equipment and install fees for a simple, predictable monthly payment.

10-Year generator subscription

Give homeowners full access to a premium Generac home standby system through a 10-year subscription model. It turns a heavy capital expense into a smooth, manageable monthly line item.

Available exclusively through qualified Generac dealers

This program is closed to the public. Only dealers who apply, meet requirements, and get official sign-off through Generac can unlock this subscription product and its dedicated tools inside Solo.

Powered by Generac, Palmetto, and Solo

We brought three powerhouse teams together into one connected workflow: Generac’s industry-leading backup power, Palmetto’s flexible subscription capital, and Solo’s fast, intuitive digital sales engine. (Pro tip: You have the option to use other lenders, too.)

Give homeowners a simpler way to say yes to whole home backup power

By packing hardware, expert installation, and long-term care into one simple monthly package, this program removes the friction from buying backup power. It completely reshapes the customer experience, making it easier than ever to guide price-conscious homeowners to a confident “yes.”

One predictable monthly subscription payment

Skip the heavy upfront bill. Homeowners can get complete whole-home protection for $0 down (pending approval) and stick to a steady, predictable monthly rate.

Much more than a generator

Every subscription wraps the Generac standby system, professional installation, annual tune-ups, MobileLink remote monitoring, and long-term warranty protection into one total package.

Protection continues after installation

Homeowners get continuous remote monitoring and a direct, hassle-free line for routine servicing and covered repairs for the long haul.

Another path to a home generator backup

When cash outlays or conventional loans stall the conversation, the subscription gives your reps an immediate way to salvage the deal—without scaling back system size or skimping on critical protection.

Turn generator installation into a long term customer relationship

Stop leaving money on the table with one-and-done installs. This program turns a standard generator job into a lasting, value-packed partnership with the homeowner.

Solo

With annual tune-ups baked right into the subscription, you get a built-in reason to stay top-of-mind and step foot back in the door every single year.
