FranklinWH Smart Controllable Circuits Module | ACCY-SCV2-US
Description
Home electrical devices are becoming increasingly more intelligent and connected. Homeowners can manage individual devices through networked software linked to smart phones. However, that focus is on those devices regardless of the power being supplied to the home.
The Franklin Home Power (FHP) system is an intelligent home energy solution that enables you to manage your home's energy. The FHP integrates solar, energy storage (batteries), the utility grid, and even standby generators into a single app to allow you to manage your power consumption, and supply, day-to-day and during grid outages. The FranklinWH aGate is the smart controller that manages power supply. The aGate can be programmed to optimize daily energy supply, including to minimize grid usage during expensive, high-demand periods. Load shifting helps homeowners by relying on battery and solar power during those peak periods, while recharging batteries during low-demand, low-price time periods.
However, some loads are unique. Electric vehicle (EV) chargers, air conditioners, and other electrical devices need to be managed more intelligently. The FranklinWH Smart Circuits Module, an optional aGate component, provides the ability to manage those unique devices remotely and automatically from anywhere and anytime.Users can connect and disconnect up to three Smart Circuits via the FranklinWH app. Smart Circuit 1 & Smart Circuit 2, 1-pole circuit breakers, can be merged into a single, 2-pole circuit as needed. SmartCircuit 3 requires a 2-Pole circuit breaker.
In the FranklinWH app, homeowners can schedule times for the circuits to automatically turn on and off. For instance, the EV charger can be setto only run from 1:00 am to 5:00 am, during a low-demand, low-cost period. Alternatively, homeowners can manually turn on and turn off individual Smart Circuits as needed. An example of this is turning on the air conditioner shortly before returning home.
Time-of-use Load Shifting
Utilities companies continue to migrate to a time-of-use (TOU) billing plan. The cost of a kilowatt-hour of energy varies throughout the day, and the week, depending on expected user demand. That means afternoon and evening hours are usually the most expensive while late night and early morning are typically the least expensive.
The above EV charger example shows how load shifting can save money. When a homeowner returns home and plugs the car into the charger, that's typically early evening. If the car charged then, it would be at the highest billed rate.
Smart Circuits allow the owner to plug in and forget about the charge. The set schedule will turn on the charger during the lowest billing rate period, saving money.
Backup Energy Management
When the FHP is running from batteries, either because of a grid outage or because the home is completely off-grid, Smart Circuits can be automatically managed.
Homeowners can set a state-of-charge (SOC) threshold below which the Smart Circuits are automatically turned off. When the FranklinWHaPower batteries drop below the set SOC level, the circuits are disconnected. When the solar array, a generator, or the grid powers the batteries back above the SOC threshold, the circuits will be reconnected.
This is good for devices such a pool pump, as shutting it down will provide longer backup time for other household devices.

the Remedies section.
Performance Warranty
FranklinWH guarantees that the FranklinWH aPower X will have the rated energy
capacity of 13.6 kWh when this limited warranty begins, and the capacity retention will
be not less than 70% of the rated capacity when 1) the 12-year warranty period expires,
or 2) the aggregate energy throughput reached 43 MWh, whichever comes first.
Provided the products are installed and used as per the requirements in the installation
manual and the user manual.
Warranty Period
FranklinWH warrants that your Products will be free from defects for fifteen (15) years
starting from 1) the date of the initial installation; or 2) twelve (12) months from the
manufacture date, whichever comes first. FranklinWH will offer remedies according to
the Remedies section.
Performance Warranty
FranklinWH guarantees that the FranklinWH aPower 2 will have the rated energy
capacity of 15 kWh when this limited warranty begins, and the capacity retention will be
not less than 70% of the rated capacity when 1) the 15-year warranty period expires, or
2) the aggregate energy throughput reached 60 MWh, whichever comes first. Provided
