FranklinWH Home Energy Management System

There are more advances in renewable energy technology and storage every year. What was once out of reach for normal households has become efficient and inexpensive enough to make home installations practical.

Wicks Roofing and Solar is a certified installer of Franklin Battery systems for the home. This innovative, all-in-one home energy solution allows you to fully utilize your solar panels through storage and smart management solutions.

The Necessity of a Reliable Home Energy Ecosystem

Electricity drives modern home life and allows us to enjoy many comforts. Considering how vital reliable power is, being without it is uncomfortable at best, and dangerous at worst. Backup solutions are gaining more traction because of the drawbacks of relying solely on grid power, such as:

• Power outages: Outages can occur due to storms, grid overloads, or failing equipment. They can be short or last days or weeks. A backup system will help keep essential appliances running during a blackout.
• High energy bills: Utility companies can raise rates with little notice, and peak pricing can increase your energy costs during periods of heavy use. Controlling your energy source helps you optimize your bills by shifting usage to backup storage during peak times.
• Higher carbon footprint: Grid power produces greenhouse emissions — the more you draw from it, the more greenhouse gases are released from burning fossil fuels.
