Keep the lights on. Even when the Grid can’t.
Upgrade your solar system to include the Franklin Apower2 solar battery and never worry about power outages ever again. Thanks to its innovative technology and superior system design, the Franklin Apower2 has been vastly outperforming its competitors – including the Tesla Powerwall.

Franklin Apower2 Solar Battery:
- 15 kWh of usable energy storage—enough to power most homes during an outage.
- 10 kW continuous output with 15 kW peak power, allowing it to run high-demand appliances like central air conditioners, well pumps, and electric water heaters.
- Whole-home backup with a single battery for many homes, eliminating the need to power only a few essential circuits.
- Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery chemistry for enhanced safety, long life, and excellent thermal stability.
- Industry-leading 15-year warranty (or 60 MWh throughput), providing long-term peace of mind.
- Compatible with existing solar systems, making it an excellent retrofit option for homeowners who already have solar panels.
- Stores energy from solar, the grid, generators, and compatible EV systems, giving homeowners greater flexibility and energy independence.
- Automatically charges before severe weather events (when configured), helping ensure backup power is available when it’s needed most.
- Scalable system—expand up to 15 batteries (225 kWh) as your energy needs grow.
- Whisper-quiet operation (approximately 30 dBA) thanks to fan-free natural cooling.
- Built for harsh environments with an IP67 weatherproof rating, making it suitable for indoor or outdoor installation.
- Works with the FranklinWH app, allowing homeowners to monitor battery status, energy production, consumption, and backup performance from their smartphone.
- Can start and run a 5-ton central air conditioner while continuing to power other essential household loads during an outage.

Modular battery architecture
The FranklinWH aPower 2 features a modular battery design with an inverter integrated into each battery, but the overall system is coordinated by the Franklin aGate intelligent energy management controller. This provides scalable storage, whole-home backup, and centralized energy management.
Load Control
The FranklinWH system automatically manages your home’s energy during an outage, prioritizing power where it’s needed most while helping extend backup time. It can even coordinate with a generator and optimize energy use based on your preferences.
