Why Choose a FranklinWH Home Battery System?

Backup Power When You Need It

A properly configured FranklinWH system can provide backup electricity during a grid outage. Depending on your system design, it can support selected essential circuits or a whole-home backup configuration.

Store Solar Energy for Later

Store available solar electricity during the day and use that energy when your panels produce less power. This can help you make greater use of your solar generation, depending on your household consumption and system settings.

Intelligent Home Energy Management

The FranklinWH aGate energy management system coordinates connected energy sources and household loads. It helps manage how electricity flows between your solar panels, battery storage, utility grid, and other compatible equipment.

Flexible Battery Storage Capacity

Your battery system can be designed around your household’s energy requirements. Multiple compatible batteries can be configured to increase storage capacity and support longer backup periods, subject to system limits and installation requirements.

FranklinWH aPower 2 Installation

The FranklinWH aPower 2 is a residential battery designed to store electricity and deliver backup power. With 15 kWh of usable energy capacity per unit and 10 kW of continuous output, it can be an option for homeowners with substantial energy storage and backup requirements.

The appropriate number of batteries depends on your household’s energy consumption, backup priorities, and equipment configuration.

FranklinWH aGate Energy Management System

The aGate coordinates the FranklinWH system’s energy sources and household electrical loads. It plays an important role in managing battery operation, solar integration, and backup power functionality.

The required aGate model and configuration depend on the equipment selected for your installation.

Battery Storage for Existing Solar Systems

Already have solar panels? A FranklinWH battery may be suitable for an existing installation, depending on your current inverter, electrical equipment, and system compatibility. An assessment can help identify the components and configuration required for integration.

Solar and Battery System Installation

If you’re planning to install solar panels and battery storage together, the system can be designed around your home’s energy usage, available roof space, electrical requirements, and backup goals.

Planning both components together can help ensure the equipment works as an integrated home energy solution.

Is a FranklinWH Battery Right for Your Home?

A FranklinWH battery system may be worth considering if you want to store excess solar energy, prepare for power outages, or manage your household’s electricity more strategically.

The right setup depends on several factors, including your existing solar equipment, daily energy consumption, major appliances, electrical service, and desired backup duration.

AWS Solar can help you evaluate your requirements and understand which system configuration may be appropriate for your property.

FranklinWH Battery Installation FAQs

A FranklinWH home battery stores electricity for later use and can provide backup power when integrated into a compatible system. The FranklinWH ecosystem combines battery storage with an aGate energy management system to coordinate solar generation, grid electricity, and household loads.

The FranklinWH aPower 2 provides 15 kWh of usable energy capacity per unit. Multiple batteries can be installed in a compatible configuration to increase available storage. The total capacity appropriate for your home depends on your energy consumption and backup requirements.

It may be possible with a suitably designed system. Whole-home backup depends on the battery configuration, electrical system, connected loads, and required output. Homes with high-demand appliances or extended backup needs may require multiple batteries or additional system planning.

Potentially. Compatibility depends on your current solar inverter, electrical configuration, and the FranklinWH equipment selected. An installer should assess the existing system to determine the required integration method and any additional components.

Backup duration depends on available stored energy and how much electricity your household consumes. Essential circuits such as lighting, refrigeration, and internet equipment generally use less power than a home running air conditioning, electric heating, and other major appliances. Solar production during the outage may also help recharge the battery if the system supports it.

A suitably configured FranklinWH system may be able to support an air-conditioning system. Actual performance depends on the battery model, starting current, continuous power requirements, and the other electrical loads operating at the same time. The installer should assess the specific HVAC equipment before confirming compatibility.

The cost depends on the number of batteries, equipment selection, electrical work, backup configuration, permitting, and installation complexity. Adding a battery to an existing solar system may involve different costs from installing a complete solar and battery system. Contact AWS Solar for a project-specific assessment and estimate.

A FranklinWH battery may be valuable for homeowners who want backup power, greater use of their solar electricity, or more control over when they consume stored energy. The financial benefits depend on your utility rate plan, solar production, electricity consumption, installation cost, and applicable programs. A personalized assessment can help you evaluate whether the investment fits your needs.
