Power your essential loads when the grid is down
The FranklinWH aPower 2 provides seamless backup power to your home during grid outages. When the power goes out, the system automatically transfers your home to battery power in milliseconds -- most of the time, you won't even notice the grid went down.
During extended outages, your solar panels continue to recharge your batteries during the day, giving you a renewable source of backup power that doesn't rely on fuel. This means you can keep your essential loads running -- air conditioning, refrigerator, lights, internet, and more -- without the noise, fumes, or hassle of a generator.
With 10kW of continuous output per unit, the aPower 2 can handle heavy loads that other batteries struggle with. And if you need even more capacity, simply add a second unit for 30kWh of total storage and 20kW of output.

Can I power my whole home with batteries?
Most homes can run all loads with 1-2 aPower 2 units (15-30kWh). We typically recommend 30kWh for complete coverage. Larger homes or those with high loads may need more.
How many FranklinWH batteries do I need?
We typically recommend two units (30kWh) for most homes. This provides enough storage to power your home through the night and during extended outages. We'll design the right system based on your usage and goals.
Should I get a generator instead?
Generators are a viable option but require fuel, maintenance, and manual startup. Batteries are silent, automatic, and recharge from your solar panels for free. Many homeowners prefer the convenience and reliability of a battery system.
How much power can the aPower 2 provide?
The aPower 2 delivers 10,000W of continuous power (15kW peak), enough to run most homes including AC, refrigerator, and other essential loads.
How long is the Franklin battery warranty?
FranklinWH offers a 15-year warranty with 60MWh throughput guarantee. This is one of the longest warranties in the home battery market.
I have existing solar, can I add batteries?
Yes! The aPower 2 works with any existing solar inverter, making it easy to add battery backup to your current system.
Do you offer off-grid solutions?
We specialize in grid-tied solar with battery backup. We don't currently offer true off-grid systems, but the FranklinWH system provides reliable backup power during grid outages.
