SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- FranklinWH Energy Storage Inc. ("FranklinWH"), a leader in whole-home energy management, today released new research highlighting key roadblocks for Americans looking to transition to clean energy. According to a survey of 1,000 U.S. adults, while nearly three in four Americans (73%) agree that solar energy is a good investment for their homes, a lack of knowledge is preventing them from taking the next step.

Key Points: 
  • This lack of knowledge about personal energy consumption along with misconceptions about the overall costs and benefits of pairing home energy management systems with batteries and solar panels stood in the way of widespread adoption and increased energy freedom.
  • By pairing solar panels with battery storage systems, homeowners can save excess energy and use it whenever they prefer – at night, during a storm, and more.
  • While consumers are aware of the benefits of renewable energy to lower energy bills, they're largely unaware of incentives that make the transition affordable.
  • FranklinWH is committed to improving energy management and battery technology to make solar energy accessible across the globe and create a more sustainable world."
