No, the aGate from FranklinWH cannot be installed without an aPower unit. The aGate is designed as an integral part of the Franklin Home Power (FHP) system, serving as the smart energy management system that integrates solar, grid, generator, and batteries to support home loads. It operates in conjunction with the aPower via AC coupling for power and CANbus for communication.
The aPower provides the necessary energy storage and conversion capabilities, while the aGate manages these resources. Together, they form a cohesive system for energy management and storage, ensuring optimal performance and energy efficiency for your home. Without the aPower, the aGate would lack the critical components needed to fulfill its function in the FHP system.
