Generac SG080 (9.0L)

Industrial Gaseous

In Production

Generac SG080 is an 80 kWe, 60 Hz industrial gaseous generator using the legacy 8.9 L naturally aspirated V8 at 1800 RPM. The official specification publishes 122 hp at rated output, natural gas and propane capability, and EPA stationary-emergency certification. This 9.0 L configuration is distinct from the newer 4.5 L SG080.
