We have a Franklin battery in So Cal. We've only lost power a couple of short times so far, so it hasn't really been tested.

IIRC, Franklin had the most capacity so would theoretically provide the most juice when the neighborhood goes dark. Tesla was a non-starter for us, so we only looked at Franklin and one other option. No issues so far, would recommend.

Do any posters have solar panels and battery storage at their house? What systems did you choose and why? - By Lodz September 15, 2026 at 02:37:32 PM

- We have a sonnen battery in FL. Was there when we bought. Seems fine. Used it once. Impossible to find anyone who can service anything related to that system though* - By EricP September 15, 2026 at 03:01:20 PM
- cutter does iirc. Alternative would be to put in an emergency generator which we did two years ago…. - By ajs September 15, 2026 at 02:59:36 PM
  - Can’t stand the noise from generators. Do they make quiet ones?* - By Lodz September 15, 2026 at 03:43:50 PM
    - Mine is about as loud as a gas lawn mower, maybe a little quieter * - By ajs September 15, 2026 at 04:24:36 PM
