Franklin Home Power Solution
Self Consumption
When the FranklinWH system is set to Self-Consumption mode, it prioritizes using solar (PV) power for home loads, storing any excess energy in the aPower battery. If solar production doesn’t meet household demand, the aPower supplements the PV to meet your needs, thereby minimizing electricity imports from the grid.
For maximum backup time, with the aPower state of charge (SOC) set to 100%, the FranklinWH system charges the aPower from solar energy and does not discharge it. In the event of a grid failure, the FranklinWH system seamlessly powers household loads, ensuring an uninterrupted energy supply.
Time of Use
If your electricity rates vary throughout the day, you can optimize savings by selecting the Time of Use (TOU) mode and customizing on-peak and off-peak times based on these rates. The FranklinWH system will prioritize using solar and aPower battery power during peak rate periods. During off-peak times, it will balance power from the grid, PV system, and batteries according to household needs.
Emergency Backup
When the FranklinWH system is set to Emergency Backup, the system prioritizes charging the aPower battery to a 100% state of charge using solar power and the utility grid to power the home. The stored power is not used unless there is an outage. In the event of a grid failure, the aPower battery will automatically power your household loads. Once the grid is restored, the system will automatically resume charging the aPower battery.
