This partnership will give numerous Australian homeowners easy and flexible access to reliable energy solutions.
There are two key financing paths through Brighte:
- A 0% Interest Payment Plan, with no interest charged over the loan term, perfect for budget-conscious homeowners.
- A Green Loan with competitive fixed interest rates, offering longer repayment terms and broader eligibility.
Both financing options are available for the purchase and installation of FranklinWH aPower batteries through Brighte-accredited installers. Homeowners can borrow up to $55,000, repay over terms of up to 10 years.
“This approval is a big win for both installers and homeowners,” said Steve Ruskin, GM of FranklinWH Australia/NZ. “It removes the upfront cost barrier by giving homeowners real financial flexibility.”
FranklinWH’s flagship home battery, the aPower X, offers a 13.6 kWh capacity with a 12-year warranty and can scale with multiple units to meet whole-home energy demands. The Brighte approval means homeowners don’t have to delay a home battery addition to their solar systems due to high upfront costs.
The partnership also unlocks advantages for FranklinWH’s installer network. Installers can now offer point-of-sale financing backed by Brighte’s financing platform, which helps accelerate deal closure, reduce drop-off rates, and improve customer satisfaction.
Both companies see this move as timely, given rising electricity prices, increased demand for backup power, and more government incentives for electric alternatives. FranklinWH and Brighte are confident the collaboration will help more Australians transition to more intelligent and reliable home energy.
