Franklin Whole Home Energy Storage System
FranklinWH
Store, and use solar energy with Franklin Home Power
The Franklin Home Power (FHP) system provides whole home backup by integrating multiple sources of power generation. It provides real time monitoring and control for a home’s day-to-day energy usage. It stores solar or grid energy and uses it for time-of-use load shifting and as a backup for outages. The three primary FHP components are: aGate, aPower, and the FranklinWH App.
Seamless energy management, storage, and control
FranklinWH aGate - Smart energy management system Serves as the controller for all home power sources by interconnecting solar, grid, battery, and generator (if present) to supply electricity to the home. Seamlessly transitions the home supply from grid power to backup power so that always-on appliances, such as the refrigerator and router, will not be affected when the grid goes down.
FranklinWH aPower - AC-coupled battery Store solar generated power when the sun is shining. Use the stored energy to lower electricity bills. Run heavy loads such as air conditioners and water heaters as usual even during grid outages. Provide homeowners peace of mind by fully charging before severe weather events. With 5 kW continuous power, and 10 kW peak power for up to 10 seconds, a single aPower can boot up power-hungry
appliances, such as a 3 kW air conditioner, keeping the home comfortable even in blackouts.
FranklinWH App - Control your home energy management system anytime, anywhere with the Franklin WH App. Interface to control and monitor home energy. Customise power plans to optimise energy efficiency and save more money. View real-time energy flow, energy consumption by day, week, month, or year. Even the current performance of the energy system, such as the grid input power, solar production, battery discharge power, and generator output.
FlanklinWH Storm Hedge - The Storm Hedge function brings you peace of mind during severe weather. When the Storm Hedge function is enabled, the FranklinWH app will receive a weather forecast from the local authority about a serious weather event, send a warning message via the app, and then the system will automatically enter backup mode to power household loads during the weather event. When the extreme weather passes, the system will automatically revert to the previous settings.
Generator Integration - Integrating multiple power sources to provide efficient power supply and redundant backup. Interconnecting the grid, solar, battery, and generator, the aGate balances power sources to keep the home powered. When the grid fails, each aGate seamlessly transitions the home to battery power; homeowners even don’t know there has been a grid outage. When solar production can’t keep up with battery recharging during grid outages, the generator will automatically be turned on to supply electricity to the home. Homeowners can rest easily with redundant power generation.
