FranklinWH Generator Module
SKU FRANKLINWH-GEN-MOD
The FranklinWH Generator Module provides seamless integration of standby generators into the Franklin Home Power (FHP) energy management system, enabling comprehensive whole-home resilience during extended grid outages or off-grid operation. Compatible with most two-wire or utility-sense standby generators with or without automatic transfer switches (ATS), this module adds critical backup capability for homes requiring continuous power during severe weather events or prolonged utility disruptions when solar production is insufficient.
Installers can configure automatic operation based on aPower X battery State of Charge (SoC) thresholds, allowing the system to intelligently balance generator runtime with battery reserves.
FranklinWH Generator Module Features
- Dual-Purpose Operation: Generator simultaneously powers critical home loads and recharges aPower X battery, maximizing energy availability during extended outages
- Intelligent Automatic Control: Set battery SoC start/stop thresholds for autonomous generator management, optimizing fuel consumption while ensuring adequate battery reserves
- Remote Manual Operation: Start and stop generator on-demand from anywhere via FranklinWH App for immediate response to changing weather or load conditions
- Programmable Scheduling: Configure generator runtime schedules to run during daytime hours and switch to quiet battery operation at night, reducing noise disruption
- Broad Generator Support: Compatible with two-wire, utility-sense, and ATS-equipped standby generators from major manufacturers for maximum installation flexibility
FranklinWH Generator Module Technical Review
By integrating standby generators into the FranklinWH ecosystem, the module enables sophisticated multi-source energy management that far exceeds traditional generator-only or battery-only backup systems. The 160A continuous current capacity supports substantial whole-home loads while simultaneously charging the aPower X battery, allowing homeowners to maintain normal consumption patterns during extended grid disruptions.
The dual operating mode architecture provides both autonomous operation and manual override capability. Automatic mode uses configurable battery SoC thresholds to start the generator when reserves fall below the lower limit and stop when charging reaches the upper threshold, optimizing fuel consumption while ensuring adequate battery capacity for critical overnight loads. Manual mode via the FranklinWH App enables immediate remote start/stop for emergency situations or anticipated weather events.
