Power outages are becoming increasingly common in the Northwest, driven by severe weather, wildfires, and aging utility infrastructure. Solar is excellent for reducing energy costs, but a standard grid-tied solar system shuts off during a grid failure to protect utility workers repairing the lines.
That’s where energy storage comes in. A home battery backup system like FranklinWH keeps your power on when you need it most.
Why Battery Backup Matters in the Northwest
Northwest homeowners face unique challenges: heavy storms, winter outages, and the growing likelihood of time-of-use billing, where utilities charge more for electricity during peak hours. A FranklinWH battery system addresses all three.
- Outage protection. Your home switches seamlessly to stored energy when the grid goes down, keeping essential appliances running and your family safe.
- Multi-day resilience. Paired with solar, your batteries recharge during the day, so you have consistent power even during multi-day storm outages.
- Time-of-use savings. FranklinWH stores energy when electricity is cheap and uses it during peak hours, so you avoid the highest rates.
