Energy resilience extends far beyond a home battery. It’s about how intelligently your home can keep essential appliances running when the grid fails, whether for hours, days, or even longer in extreme weather events.
A home energy management system makes this possible by coordinating energy sources and household loads in real time. When an outage occurs, an advanced system will switch to solar and battery power with lightning-fast speed, helping maintain power continuity for critical appliances such as lights, refrigerators, and communications equipment.
Beyond rapid switching, a highly capable system manages loads more intelligently, shedding energy-intensive devices such as electric water heaters or EV chargers while prioritising essential circuits. This selective approach significantly extends available backup time from a given battery storage capacity.
This is where the FranklinWH System stands out. Being AC-coupled and agnostic to all solar inverter brands, it simplifies retrofit installations while still allowing you to upgrade in the future. The 15 kWh aPower X-02 battery delivers long-lasting backup, while the aGate Smart Circuits allow homeowners to prioritise essential loads and manage higher-power devices more strategically during an outage.
The system adds further layers of resiliency through generator or vehicle-to-load (V2L) integration, converging multiple power sources into one coordinated energy ecosystem. Additionally, in extended blackouts, your solar inverter still requires power for your panels to generate. The FranklinWH Black Start feature automatically takes care of this, allowing your solar to continue generating through extended outages.
Beyond hardware, the FranklinWH App provides real-time visibility into backup status, remaining runtime, and load management decisions, giving homeowners confidence and control exactly when it is needed most.
Solar and storage are not small investments, and homeowners deserve value and certainty from that commitment. While a simple battery may lower power bills, a home energy management system provides the energy resiliency and peace of mind that families can bank on.
