Interview: we talk home batteries with FranklinWH CEO Gary Lam

On today's charged up episode of Quick Charge , we've got FranklinWH co-founder and CEO Gary Lam here to talk us through some of the benefits of a home battery system, and what it takes to make the most of one – with, or even without a home solar panel system. We published an article last week explaining how home battery systems could be used to reduce energy bills, add lasting value to your home, and more – and it got the attention of FranklinWH's Gary Lam, who helped with some updates and generously offered to take the time to answer some of my questions on today's episode.
