Generator: Installation Requirements

This article covers what dealers need to submit at install completion, how to submit through the Palmetto portal, and how to handle rejections.

Required deliverables

When installation is complete, submit an install package through the portal. The package must include:

  • Photo package (see install verification requirements below)

  • Commissioning test results

  • Warranty registration information - Palmetto handles registration with the OEM directly

  • Remote monitoring access - Mobile Link must be connected and assigned to Palmetto's account at commissioning

  • Customer walk-through and sign-off

Annual maintenance is included for customer and mandatory

Remote monitoring

Remote monitoring through Generac's Mobile Link platform is required for all enrolled generators. At commissioning, the account must be connected and assigned to Palmetto — either set up so it's easily assignable, or configured so no additional action is needed from the installer after handoff.
