FAQs

Is the AGT-R1V3-US compatible with my solar panels?

Yes. The AGT-R1V3-US (aGate) works with both microinverters and string inverters and is compatible with most standard solar systems. It does not directly convert DC from solar panels but functions as an energy-management and interconnection device. Your installer will ensure proper configuration with your inverters and solar panels.

Do I need a battery to use the AGT-R1V3-US?

No, a battery is not required. The aGate can operate as part of a grid-tied system without a battery. However, adding a battery enables energy storage for use during outages or nighttime, allowing for self-consumption and backup power functionality.

How do I monitor the performance of my AGT-R1V3-US?

The aGate connects via Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or Bluetooth to the FranklinWH monitoring platform. Through the app or web interface, you can view system performance, solar production, grid import/export, and battery status if one is installed.

What happens if there is a power outage?

If a battery is installed and configured, the aGate automatically switches to battery power during a grid outage to supply critical loads. It also supports black start capability, allowing recovery after extended outages. Without a battery, the system will shut down during an outage to comply with anti-islanding safety standards.

How do I maintain the AGT-R1V3-US?

The unit is mostly maintenance-free. Ensure it has proper ventilation, check for error messages or alerts periodically, and keep its firmware updated. Your installer may suggest periodic inspections to confirm connections and overall system health.

What are the input and output voltage ranges?

The aGate supports 120/208 V and 120/240 V AC operation. It integrates into your home’s electrical system to manage solar, grid, and battery power flows. The device is designed to handle high-current connections, suitable for residential main panel installations.
