Maximize Solar Power and Savings with Franklin Whole Home Batteries

February 21, 2025

Energy resilience and sustainability are more important than ever, and Franklin Whole Home Batteries provide homeowners with a powerful way to take control of their energy usage. Seamlessly integrating with solar systems, these intelligent batteries offer reliable backup power during outages, improve energy efficiency, and maximize solar self-consumption. By storing excess solar energy for use when it's needed most, Franklin batteries help reduce dependence on the grid and increase long-term savings.

By offering Franklin Batteries alongside the powerful Tesla Powerwall 3 and Enphase batteries, SolarCraft is making it easier than ever for homeowners to achieve true energy independence.

Franklin Whole Home Batteries stand out with their innovative aGate™ smart control system, which provides real-time energy management, load control, and enhanced safety features. With a scalable design, homeowners can customize their storage capacity to meet their unique energy needs. By incorporating Franklin's cutting-edge technology into our product lineup, SolarCraft continues its mission to provide premium, forward-thinking solar and energy storage solutions that help customers achieve energy independence and long-term sustainability.

The FranklinWH energy storage system provides an open and robust home energy management solution that integrates solar, battery, grid, generator, and EV power sources, providing power backup during outages, peak periods, or even off-grid. FranklinWH intelligently manages and optimizes energy supply and is used to reduce, and eliminate electricity bills, enabling 100% Energy Freedom.

And with the new aPower 2, homeowners can back-up more to improve ROI by offsetting more grid energy use and costs.

ROBUST

With the all-new aPower 2, homeowners can store more power with a single battery, while cutting down on time spent on manually managing home loads. With the aPower 2, you will be able to start a 5-Ton AC unit and run it at the same time as other large appliances, with even more opportunities for load automation. Couple your savings with a generous 15-year warranty and daily cycles to accommodate Time of Use (TOU) customers. You will save more in the long run. 

The aGate's beefy 280A busbar allows more power and loads to be connected to the home to serve your modern appliances or EV while helping you reduce your bills. The 280A busbar combined with a superior Energy Management System (EMS) which has a (PCS) function helps avoid main panel upgrades (MPUs). MPUs usually result in substantial extra cost and project timelines.

RELIABLE

The Franklin WH Battery is ultra-quiet and naturally cooled with outstanding reliability ratings to ensure your home is safe and secure. Rest assured that the aPower 2 will continue to power your home through the increasingly common extreme weather events that comes your way ̶ with a weather rating for as low as -4° F and up to 130° F. 

With the Storm Hedge enabled in the FranklinWH App, when your unit receives a National Weather Service (NWS) alert, the FranklinWH system charges the aPower to full capacity and reserves power for potential outages.

The FranklinWH Smart Circuits independently manage specific high-power loads, turning them on or off on schedule or manually, as needed to prioritize essential devices during outages. They also provide control for devices to run at low-cost times according to time of use (TOU) schedules.

For further peace-of-mind, the FranklinWH system allows integration of generators to reinforce power resilience when the grid fails and solar alone is not sufficient.

FLEXIBLE

The aPower 2 is the first residential battery to use second-generation grid-scale cells that allow for high aggregated throughput of 60MWh and 70% remaining life after 15 years. The best part? FranklinWH products are compatible with all PV inverters, ensuring easy installation and enhanced safety through AC coupling. This makes them ideal for homes with either new or existing solar.

Looking for more power to back up your home? No problem. Homeowners can scale up to 15 aPower units per aGate to satisfy even the largest household demand.
