Benefits of the aPowerS System

• Direct Solar Connection: The integrated MPPT charge controllers allow your solar panels to feed power directly into the battery. This avoids the “penalty” of converting DC power to AC and back to DC for storage.

• Massive Output Power: Delivering 11.5 kW of continuous output and a 15 kW peak surge, a single aPowerS unit can easily handle demanding loads like 5-ton central air conditioners, well pumps, and electric water heaters.

• Seamless Scalability: If your family’s energy needs grow, you can scale the system up to 15 units. This creates a massive 225 kWh energy storage network capable of sustaining a home for weeks off the grid.

• Lithium Iron Phosphate Safety: Utilizing LFP chemistry ensures exceptional thermal stability, a longer lifespan, and a much safer operating profile compared to traditional NMC lithium batteries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the difference between the aPowerS and the standard aPower 2? The aPowerS features an integrated hybrid inverter with 4 MPPTs for direct DC-coupled solar connections. The standard aPower 2 is an AC-coupled battery designed to work alongside existing third-party solar inverters for retrofit installations.

Q2: How many solar panels can I connect to this unit? The built-in charge controllers can handle up to 20 kW of solar input. This massive capacity means you can connect a very large solar array directly to a single battery unit to maximize winter or cloudy day production.

Q3: Do I need the FranklinWH aGate to use this battery? Yes. The aPowerS battery operates in tandem with the FranklinWH aGate smart controller, which manages the connection to the utility grid, handles rapid islanding during power outages, and serves as the brain of the ecosystem.

Q4: Can this run my air conditioner during a blackout? Yes. With an 11.5 kW continuous output and a 15 kW surge capacity, a single aPowerS has the starting amps necessary to kick over most standard central air conditioning units alongside other household loads.

Q5: Is it safe to install inside my garage? Absolutely. The unit utilizes LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery chemistry, which is widely regarded as the safest lithium technology available, offering excellent resistance to thermal runaway.
