FranklinWH Offers Flexible Options
Generator Integration
The FranklinWH system works with both standby and portable generators, allowing high-power generator support and offering various start options. It can be automatically triggered at a customer set battery State of Charge (SOC) or be manually operated through the FranklinWH App, giving added flexibility. The system periodically runs the generator to conduct self-checks, verifying its functionality and providing reliable extended backup during outages.
Smart Circuits
Smart Circuits independently manages and schedules specific high-power loads, such as EV, water pumps, and air conditioners to power your home more efficiently. For instance, you can set a schedule to charge the EV late at night, when the electricity price is at off-peak rates, or automatically disable high-power appliances to prioritize essential ones during outages.
Seamless Power Switch
Worry-free energy and smooth emergency backup with lightning-fast power switching, keeping your home continuously powered by solar, battery, and other sources.
Black Start
Black start automatically resumes solar production after a long blackout has drained the battery, returning power to your home while recharging the aPowers, even when the grid is still down.
Storm Hedge
When Storm Hedge activates upon receiving a National Weather Service (NWS) alert, the FranklinWH system charges the aPower to full capacity and reserves it for potential outages.
