Battery Backup In The Northwest
Keep the lights on through the Northwest power outages, use more of your generated solar energy at night, and get your home ready for full electrification with battery backup.
What can my battery backup power?
Paired with solar, your battery can recharge during the day. That means clean, quiet backup instead of a noisy generator—and more freedom from the grid.
For most homes, there are two approaches:
Back Up The Essentials
Fridge, Wi-Fi, key lights and outlets, maybe a well or sump pump.
Whole Home
Almost everything except big “energy hogs” like hot tubs, pool pumps, or certain electric heat loads.
Energy Resilience
A home battery keeps essential systems running automatically during outages.
Stay Powered When the Grid Goes Down
Seamless Switchover
Your battery kicks in instantly, so lights, refrigeration, and key systems stay on.
Storm-Ready Charging
Systems can pre-charge ahead of severe weather for maximum backup.
Quiet, Clean Power
No noise, no fumes, no fuel—just reliable energy when you need it.
Load Shifting
Our values guide everything we do.
Energy on Demand
Store power during the day, use it at night.
Rate Optimization
Discharge during peak pricing, recharge when rates are low.
Maximize ROI
Get more value from every kilowatt-hour your system produces.
Power Your Electrified Home
Get ready for an all-electric future
Battery storage makes it easy to run heat pumps, EV chargers, and more—with reliable backup when you need it.
Flexible Backup
Power essential circuits or your entire home.
Smart Control

FranklinWH aPower 2 + aGate
A flexible home battery backup system, the FranklinWH aPower 2 + aGate stores enough energy to keep your critical circuits—lights, Wi-Fi, fridge, and well pump—powered through outages. Working together with the aGate smart panel to tie your solar, battery, grid power, and even an optional generator.
Flexible whole-home backup that grows with you
Whole-home backup with fewer batteries
Built for the long haul
An industry-leading 15-year warranty means the system is engineered for everyday use, not just the rare outage, so you can lean on it for years of bill savings and backup power.
Pairs with existing solar systems
aPower 2 and aGate can work with most existing solar systems and can also tie in a generator, EV charging, and the grid to create one coordinated home energy system.
Designed for power outages
Weather-resistant housing and built-in thermal management mean the battery is built to keep working through heat, cold, rain, and wind—exactly what we see in the Northwest.
Smart controls to lower your bills
The FranklinWH app and controls can automatically prioritize stored energy during peak-price hours and tap into programs like net billing or virtual power plants where available, helping you earn more from every kilowatt-hour.
Quiet, safe, and easy to live with
Using stable LFP battery chemistry and ultra-quiet operation, the system is designed to stay safe, stay out of the way, and simply work in the background of your daily life.
Tesla Powerwall 3
Turn your daytime solar into reliable backup power with The Tesla Powerwall 3 systems that maximize your solar energy. Storing more energy for use at night, during storms, or when rates spike. With an integrated inverter, smart software, and a compact wall- or ground-mounted design, it quietly shifts your home onto stored power behind the scenes.
Flexible whole-home backup that grows with you
Keeps your home running when the grid goes down
Automatically takes over during an outage and can be sized to back up just your essentials or, with enough capacity, most or all of your home.
Turns daytime solar into night-time power
Stores the extra solar your panels make during the day and uses it at night or when the grid is down, boosting your energy independence.
All-in-one solar + battery design
Built-in solar inverter means your solar and battery work together as a single, efficient system, with room to expand later if your needs grow.
Smart app control and “Storm Watch”
The Tesla app shows, in real time, where your power is coming from and lets you choose how the system behaves—while Storm Watch can auto-charge the battery ahead of severe weather and send alerts to your phone.
Built for savings, not just emergencies
Time-based controls can shift more of your home onto stored energy during expensive peak-rate hours, helping lower utility bills while you use more clean power you generate yourself.
Engineered for real-world weather
Outdoor-rated, flood- and dust-resistant, and backed by a 10-year warranty, so it’s designed to live outside and keep working for years in Northwest conditions.
