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.
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.
