Generac PWRcell SnapRS Settlement 2026 -- File a Claim by August 24

What happened

Class period: Purchased in the United States before January 9, 2026 (no earliest purchase date specified -- check the official site for details)

• Generac Holdings Inc. and Generac Power Systems, Inc. face a federal class action lawsuit over SnapRS devices -- components used inside their PWRcell Solar Power Systems.
• Plaintiffs allege these SnapRS devices may overheat, melt, or fail, causing system-wide shutdowns and significant performance problems for homeowners who invested in solar energy.
• The lawsuit is consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin as MDL No. 3078 and covers PWRcell systems purchased anywhere in the United States before January 9, 2026.
• Generac denies all allegations and any wrongdoing. The Court has not decided who is right. Both sides agreed to a $15 million settlement to avoid the cost and uncertainty of trial.

How to file

1. Visit the official settlement website at www.GeneracSnapSettlement.com
2. Click "Submit a Claim"
3. If your settlement notice included a Claim ID, select the Easy Pay Option -- your system ownership is already verified and you can submit quickly using your ID
4. If you do not have a Claim ID, complete the full Claim Form and attach supporting documentation
5. Submit online by August 24, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. CDT, or mail a paper claim form postmarked by the same deadline to: Generac PWRcell Settlement Administrator, P.O. Box 1628, Baton Rouge, LA 70821

Proof required

• Pre-qualified claimants (those who received a notice with a Claim ID): no additional ownership proof is required for the System Claim
• Claimants without a Claim ID: documentation establishing you as the current Owner or Primary User of an eligible PWRcell system
• Out-of-pocket expense claims: receipts, invoices, or other records showing costs paid for SnapRS-related repairs or system removal before January 9, 2026; self-prepared documents alone are not sufficient
• Power generation loss claims: utility bills or PWRView app reports covering the months of reduced output; self-prepared summaries may supplement but cannot stand alone

Payment timing

Payments will be issued after the Settlement receives final court approval. You may choose from several electronic payment options at the time you submit your claim, or request a paper check. Ensure your email and mailing address are current when you file.
