FranklinWH home battery systems
OC Solar works with FranklinWH and can evaluate the aPower 2 home battery for solar storage, outage backup, and broader home-energy integration. FranklinWH lists 15 kWh capacity, 10 kW continuous output, LFP chemistry, and a 15-year warranty for aPower 2; the final design determines supported loads and equipment count.

The useful answer
What FranklinWH contributes
FranklinWH uses an aGate energy-management controller with aPower batteries to coordinate solar, grid, battery, and compatible generator inputs. That makes it important to define the home's largest loads, outage priorities, electrical service, equipment location, and any existing solar before choosing a configuration.
Battery capacity is only one part of resilience. OC Solar develops a load plan showing what should remain powered, how long the homeowner expects to operate, and what the system can deliver continuously and during motor starts. The proposal then identifies the actual FranklinWH equipment and scope.
Why it can matter
Three decisions behind the brand name
LFP chemistry
The current aPower 2 uses lithium iron phosphate battery chemistry and is managed through the FranklinWH home-energy ecosystem.
Whole-home planning
OC Solar sizes the battery around actual loads, outage priorities, service equipment, solar production, and available installation space.
Before you approve a proposal
Verify the complete system.
- 1Build an essential-load and large-motor inventory before sizing storage.
- 2Confirm clearances, communications, service equipment, and local code requirements.
- 3Model time-of-use operation separately from emergency backup duration.
Questions homeowners ask
FranklinWH FAQ
Does OC Solar install FranklinWH batteries?+
OC Solar works with FranklinWH and can evaluate a compatible FranklinWH storage system for new solar, existing solar, backup, and energy-management goals.
How much energy does FranklinWH aPower 2 store?+
FranklinWH lists 15 kWh capacity and 10 kW continuous output for one aPower 2. Actual usable operation and backup duration depend on the configured system, loads, settings, solar production, temperature, and site conditions.
Can FranklinWH work with an existing solar system?+
Some existing systems may be compatible. OC Solar first verifies the current inverter, service equipment, available wall space, communications, code requirements, and desired backup behavior.
