How does thE
FranklinWH aPower2 Work?

How does it work?

FranklinkWH aPower2 takes the power from your solar panels to store energy and can run in the following ways:

Energy Generation: Your solar panels (if installed) produce electricity during sunny hours. This power first serves your immediate home energy needs.
Battery Charging: Any surplus solar energy is used to charge the FranklinWH aPower2. If you don’t have solar, the system can also store grid energy during off-peak hours.
Smart Distribution: When energy demand is high or electricity rates spike, the aPower2 discharges stored power to minimize costly peak-hour grid usage.
Instantaneous Backup: In the event of a grid failure, the aPower2 automatically kicks in, ensuring your home remains powered without interruption.
We can also customize the charge/discharge profiles and modify the minimum reserve requirements for your unique preferences.

How many apower2s do i need?

The exact number of battery modules depends on:

Daily Energy Consumption: Higher consumption may call for multiple batteries.
Solar Array Size: More solar generation capacity can support more battery storage.
Backup Priorities: Decide whether you want to back up your entire home or just essential circuits.
Budget & Future Plans: You can start with one battery and expand as your needs evolve.

Our experienced team will help you calculate the optimal system size to ensure you get reliable power storage without over-investing.

Frequently asked QUESTIONS

Will solar cover my electric vehicle (EV)?

Most likely you would need a few additional panels to cover charging a future electric vehicle. During our consultation, we’ll determine how much you expect to drive (and charge) the EV, and recommend the necessary panels to cover that added usage. Alternatively, you can always come back and expand the system (add panels) in the future – it is very easy to do so.
