FranklinWH aPower 2 battery storage, aGate energy management, smart load control, solar and generator integration for resilient homes. Regent5 engineers whole-home backup around actual electrical loads, service capacity, outage goals and future energy needs.
Regent5 treats battery storage as part of the home’s electrical infrastructure, coordinating generation, storage, load priorities and automation around real outage scenarios.
15 kWh LFP battery modules sized around whole-home loads, desired outage duration and future expansion.
Central coordination of grid, batteries, solar, generators and home loads with seamless backup transition.
Electrical load analysis for HVAC, pumps, kitchens, EV charging, lighting, AV, security and critical infrastructure.
Priority-based control of selected high-demand circuits to extend battery runtime during grid outages.
AC-coupled aPower 2 retrofit strategies plus aPower S direct-solar integration for complex roof planes, future PV expansion and new-build energy systems.
Standby generator integration for long-duration resilience, battery recharging and reduced generator runtime.
Main-service, subpanel, breaker, metering and backup-boundary planning for complex residential electrical systems.
Time-of-use configuration and reserve targets aligned with utility rates, outage risk and homeowner priorities.
System commissioning, monitoring setup, operating modes, smart-load controls and homeowner handoff.
Planning for additional batteries, solar, EV loads, generators and future electrical changes as the property evolves.
aPower 2 is FranklinWH’s current AC-coupled home battery. Each unit provides 15 kWh of usable storage with up to 10 kW continuous battery output and is designed for whole-home backup, solar energy storage and energy management.
The current aPower 2 platform can scale to as many as 15 batteries per aGate, providing up to 225 kWh of storage. The practical quantity depends on electrical loads, available space, outage goals, solar production and project requirements.
It can provide whole-home backup for some homes, but proper design requires a load study. Large residences with multiple HVAC systems, pumps, electric cooking, EV charging or other high-demand loads may need multiple batteries or managed loads.
The aGate is the central energy controller. It manages power flow between the grid, solar, batteries, generators and home loads and manages the transition between normal utility operation and backup operation.
Yes. aPower 2 is AC-coupled and works with major solar inverter platforms, making it well suited to many existing-solar retrofits. FranklinWH also offers aPower S for projects that benefit from direct solar connection in a new or redesigned PV system.
Yes. FranklinWH supports generator integration through the aGate ecosystem. During extended outages a properly designed generator can support household loads and recharge battery storage.
Smart Circuits are optional controllable circuits within the FranklinWH energy-management system. They can manage selected high-power loads such as EV charging, air conditioning or pool equipment to extend backup time and control energy use.
aPower 2 is designed for high load-start capability and FranklinWH states that a single unit can start a 5-ton air conditioner. Actual project performance still depends on the complete load profile, equipment characteristics and system design.
Yes. The system includes operating modes that can charge or discharge storage around utility-rate periods. The best strategy depends on the rate plan, solar production, backup-reserve target and household consumption pattern.
Yes. Early planning makes it easier to coordinate service equipment, panels, battery location, conduit, solar, generator provisions, EV charging and backup-load priorities before the electrical infrastructure is finalized.
Yes. Battery storage can be one layer of a larger resilient-energy design that includes solar, generators, managed loads and utility service. The system should be engineered around the property’s operating goals and electrical constraints.
Regent5 can evaluate the electrical installation, battery capacity, backup loads, solar and generator integration, communications and operating settings, then recommend service or expansion work where appropriate.
