FranklinWH questions, answered
- Does FranklinWH work with solar from another brand?
- Yes — this is the main reason to choose it. The system is AC-coupled and FranklinWH states the aGate is compatible with micro- and string inverters from the major brands, so your existing solar keeps its inverter and the aGate meters it. Ask the installer to confirm your specific inverter model against FranklinWH’s compatibility list before you sign.
- Is the aGate really necessary?
- It is the product. The aPower 2 is a strong battery on its own, but everything that distinguishes FranklinWH — whole-home management, load shedding, generator integration, metering of your existing solar — lives in the aGate. A quote without one is quoting a different, lesser system.
- Can FranklinWH work with a generator?
- Yes, and it is one of the strongest reasons to pick it in hurricane, wildfire and ice-storm country. The aGate has a generator input so a standby or portable generator can recharge the battery during a long outage, with the battery covering the short ones on its own. The generator has to be compatible and the transfer arrangement designed properly — ask for both in writing.
- How many aPower 2 units do I need?
- One large block covers the evening peak and a short outage for most homes; a second is what turns it into a multi-day backup plan for a house with central air. The aGate can manage a stack of units, so you can start with one and add later. Ask the installer to size to your outage plan, not just your bill.
- Is the FranklinWH aPower 2 UL 9540 listed?
- FranklinWH lists the aPower 2 as certified to UL 9540 and UL 9540A among its safety standards, which is what most permitting authorities and utilities require on a residential storage application. Your installer files the listing with the permit and interconnection paperwork.
- Will FranklinWH run my whole house in an outage?
- That is what it is designed to do, within the limits of your battery capacity. The aPower 2 has a high continuous output and the aGate sheds lower-priority loads as the battery runs down, so the house stays live on what matters. Whether it lasts through the night depends on how many units you have and what is running — ask for a load model, not a promise.
- Do I need a FranklinWH certified installer?
- FranklinWH runs its own certified-installer program, and because the aGate is doing electrical work at the service panel, you want someone who has commissioned several of them. Ask the crew how many FranklinWH systems they have installed and whether the aGate placement they are proposing is the one they have done before.
