Power Your Home Reliably — Introducing the FranklinWH Battery

Uprise Solar just officially became a certified installer for FranklinWH! We love FranklinWH because they offer a groundbreaking solar power storage system transforming how homeowners manage their energy usage. Here’s why we think FranklinWH stands apart — and what that means for you.

Why FranklinWH?

Here are our three favorite ways the FranklinWH battery stands apart from the competition:

• Safety First: FranklinWH is the safest battery on the market because they use lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. LFP batteries are part of the lithium-ion battery family, but they don’t contain volatile or flammable materials like cobalt, making them inherently less reactive and very resistant to overheating. 
• Affordable Price Point: FranklinWH delivers exceptional value for the cost, making it a great option for budget-conscious homeowners. You’ll get top-tier technology without breaking the bank.
• Easy Installation: This one’s a win for you and for us! The installation process for FranklinWH batteries is simple and fast compared to other systems, saving us time and reducing labor costs so you can save money. 

Additional Smart Design Features that Set FranklinWH Apart

If you want to get really technical, FranklinWH boasts even more neat advantages:

• Intelligent Energy Management: Through smart monitoring and controls, you can optimize your power usage and reduce your electricity bills. You’ll get access to the FranklinWH app and can control your battery from anywhere.
• Black-Start Capability: Black-start means systems’ ability to restart after a power outage. With black-start capability, FranklinWH’s battery provides the critical power backup you need to restart your system independently — no waiting for the grid to come back online. Competitors like Tesla have struggled with black-start capability, but with a FranklinWH battery, you can recover quickly after a blackout.
• Compatible with All Inverters: Whether you have Enphase microinverters or any other type of inverter, the FranklinWH battery integrates seamlessly with your existing solar energy system. If you already have solar and decide you want a battery later, we can do that!
• High Capacity: Generous storage capacity and 10 kilowatt surge power ensures you have ample energy on hand whenever you need it. 
• Long Lifespan: FranklinWH batteries have a longer lifespan compared to other lithium-ion batteries. Thanks to their LFP batteries, FranklinWH systems can handle thousands of charge and discharge cycles without experiencing notable capacity loss. 
• Storm Hedge Feature: There are three modes for a FranklinWH battery: emergency backup, self-consumption, and time of use. Under the self-consumption and time of use modes, you can enable what’s called Storm Hedge, which allows your system to draw on weather forecasts and notify you when an extreme weather event might happen. Your system will then automatically go into emergency backup mode and fully charge your batteries so you can have backup energy if the power goes out. Once it’s been notified the weather event is over, your system will revert to whatever mode you had set before. 

The Advantage of LFP Technology

LFP batteries are renowned for their inherent safety advantages. They offer superior stability, which stems from their strong chemical bonds and thermal properties. Unlike lithium-ion batteries used in devices like the Tesla Powerwall, LFP batteries are significantly less prone to thermal runaway, a phenomenon when a lithium-ion cell starts uncontrollably increasing in temperature. Thermal runaway can lead to fires or even explosions in extreme situations. So FranklinWH batteries are a safer choice for homeowners seeking peace of mind and unmatched security when it comes to their home energy storage system.

Uprise’s Director of Sales Patrick Cavanaugh uses a FranklinWH battery in his DC home and loves it; check out pictures of his system below. Patrick chose the FranklinWH battery for its unmatched safety features and its ability to easily handle his home’s power demands. Its powerful surge capacity means he can run his most energy-intensive appliances even during an outage, unlike many other batteries. He also likes that he can easily designate non-essential loads to automatically shut off during an outage, to maximize his battery’s available power.
