  1. Automatic Standby Generators Installed By ---- H-D Electric

  2. Heightened Awareness • 50 Million without power: Aug 14, 2003 Northeast Blackout • 4 Million without power: Hurricane Isabel • In 2003 more than one in 5 Americans were without power over 8 hours • 14 million Floridians without power after ’04 hurricanes • Millions without power:HurricaneKatrina • 6 Million without power:Hurricane Wilma

  3. Market Factor Areas with: - High Population Growth - Power Failure Hotspots - High Storm Potential

  4. Peak Demand vs. Capacity Trend Thousands of MW % of Avg. Peak Demand Represents Blackouts Source: North American Electric Reliability Council

  5. Causes of Power Outages

  6. Air-cooled vs. Liquid-cooled Air-Cooled • Typical home configuration • Home valued less than $350,000 • Home less than 2,400 sq. ft. • Typical Application: Backup power for selected circuits in a home Liquid-Cooled • Typical home configuration • Home valued over $350,000 • Home greater than 2,400 sq. ft. • Typical Application: Back-up power for whole house and light commercial application • Whisper Test mode - 50% quieter during weekly exercise • Optional aluminum enclosure - improves corrosion resistance

  7. How it Works • The automatic transfer switch monitors incoming voltage from the utility line. • When utility power is interrupted, the automatic transfer switch immediately senses the problem and signals the generator to start. • The automatic transfer switch then safely closes off the utility line and simultaneously opens a new power line from the generator. • Within seconds your home standby system begins supplying electricity to your critical emergency circuits. The transfer switch continues to monitor the utility line conditions. • When the automatic transfer switch senses the utility voltage has returned at a steady state it re-transfers the electrical load back to the utility line and resumes monitoring for future utility loss. The engine continues to run for a cool down period of several minutes while the entire system stands ready for the next power outage.

  8. Air-Cooled 7kW, 10kW & 13kW • Complete pre-packaged system • Starting capabilities:13kW starts a 4-ton AC and 10kW starts a 3-ton AC unit • Circuit coverage: protects 12, 10 or 8 circuits of your home • Safe design: UL listed / electronic governor for operating sensitive electronics (10 & 13kW only) • Superior paint: tough paint finish for unmatched durability • Continuous fuel: models run on natural gas or liquid propane Pre-packaged system includes: • Automatic transfer switch with built-in load center • 30 ft., 5 ft. & 2 ft. pre-wired conduits • Outdoor connection box • Flexible fuel line • Composite mounting pad

  9. Air-Cooled 16kW • Complete pre-packaged system • Starting capabilities: 16kW starts a 5-ton AC (or two 4-ton AC units) with 7kW of auxiliary load • Whisper-Test feature makes it the quietest standby generator on the market • Extra Coverage: Powers 16 circuits or your home • Safe design: UL listed / electronic governor for operating sensitive electronics • Superior paint: tough paint finish for unmatched durability • Continuous fuel: models run on natural gas or liquid propane • Available in steel (tan) or corrosion-resistant aluminum (gray) enclosure Steel enclosure (tan) Aluminum enclosure (gray)

  10. 2006 Air-Cooled Line-up 7kW / 10kW / 13kW / 16kW *10/8.5kW: - starts 3 ton AC with 4kW of auxiliary load 13/13kW: - starts 4 ton AC with 5kW of auxiliary load 16/15kW: - starts 5 ton AC (or two 4 ton AC units) with 7kW of auxiliary load

  11. 2006 Liquid-Cooled Line-up 20kW / 25kW / 35kW / 45kW Ideal for protecting larger homes or a small business

  12. Sound Levels GUARDIAN vs. Competition Whisper-Test™ feature - reduces noise by 50% during the generator’s weekly self-test cycle. The generator starts up and operates at a reduced speed, lowering sound output by as much as 12 decibels for units that normally run at higher speeds under load. This allows for near silent operation in test mode and satisfies all know sound ordinances. 60 dB(A) 65 dB(A) dB(A): Subjective loudness of a sound doubles for every 10 decibel increase

  13. Generac OHVI® Engine (OHVI) Overhead Valve Industrial Engine • Largest air-cooled engine on the market - designed specifically for long-life generator applications • Enough power to run a 5-ton air conditioner • 23% more horsepower • 37% more displacement than competitive engine 30 HP / 990cc Designed for generators, not lawnmowers

  14. Portable Generator Market • 640,000 portable generators are purchased each year • 55% of generator purchasers are homeowners • 85% of portable generator purchases are in anticipation of an emergency

  15. Market Potential The Home Standby Market has now eclipsed the portable market. Home Standby Market • $397 Million • 5 years to achieve • Triple digit growth annual • Average margin = 20-30% Portable Market • $392 Million • 40 years to achieve • 4-7% growth annual • Average margin = 5-8%
