Farmington, MO: 14.08 kW Solar with Two FranklinWH aPower2 Batteries

This Farmington home pairs a 14.08 kW solar array plus two FranklinWH aPower2 batteries.

The system

• Solar: 32 JA Solar 440 W modules (14.08 kW DC)
• Inverters: Enphase IQ8MC microinverters, one per panel
• Storage: 2 × FranklinWH aPower2, 15 kWh each (30 kWh total)
• Controls: FranklinWH aGate for backup switching
• Design date: December 2025

Why two batteries

One aPower2 covers essentials. Two give the homeowner enough stored energy to ride through a longer outage and keep more circuits running. Microinverters keep each panel working on its own, so shade on one module doesn't drag down the rest of the array.
