Earn money with your FranklinWH battery
FranklinWH customers in Maine may be eligible for the Efficiency Maine Small Battery Program, a grid services initiative that pays you for sharing a portion of your battery’s capacity during peak demand periods.
Eligible homeowners can earn up to $600 per battery per year with full participation. Events occur up to 60 times per year, typically on weekday evenings, and each event lasts three hours. Your battery does the work automatically — and FranklinWH issues payments to you after each season closes. Actual earnings may vary based on your level of participation and battery parameters.
If you’re considering a FranklinWH system, this program is worth factoring into your decision. Enrollment is handled through the FranklinWH app after your system is commissioned.
