aPbox Solar Expansion Solution
Intelligently Manage Additional Solar Capacity
The FranklinWH aPbox enables seamless solar system expansion by intelligently managing and controlling additional solar strings. For systems where solar panels cannot connect directly through the aGate X solar breaker, the aPbox provides a smart junction solution to integrate remote or oversized solar arrays into your FranklinWH ecosystem.
This innovative device protects your energy storage system from overcharging while optimizing solar energy utilization. The aPbox is particularly valuable for preserving existing NEM contract rates while expanding your system, allowing you to add new solar capacity without compromising grandfathered net metering agreements.
Key Features
Intelligent Solar Management
Expands solar capacity beyond the aGate X input limit, allowing more solar-generated power to be stored or exported to the grid for increased energy independence.
System Protection
Automatically disconnects added solar systems when production exceeds battery and household demand, preventing overcharging and system shutdown during outages.
NEM Benefits Preservation
Install additional solar capacity without losing existing NEM 1.0 or 2.0 status, maintaining grandfathered net metering terms for your original system.
Universal Compatibility
Works with all inverter brands and integrates smoothly with new or existing PV systems without requiring power line alterations, reducing installation costs.
