About FRANKLINWH

FranklinWH is a home-energy company founded in 2019 and headquartered in San Jose, California, that entered the Australian market in 2024. Rather than selling a battery on its own, it builds a whole-home system around two parts: the aGate controller and aPower batteries. The aGate is an energy-management hub that coordinates solar, battery, grid, generator and EV charging, switches the home to backup during an outage, and decides how each source is used. The aPower battery uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells — the aPower 2 holds 15 kWh of usable capacity in a single unit, and the newer aPower S adds an integrated hybrid inverter. Multiple aPower units combine for larger storage and whole-home backup. For Perth homeowners, FranklinWH suits households that want coordinated whole-home backup and the option to fold in a generator or EV. As a recent arrival to Australia, confirm local installer coverage, pricing and warranty terms before purchasing.
