GLENDALE, Calif., March 12, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — As digital channels become the backbone for sharing information and facilitating school-to-home connections, Edlio, a leading provider of technology solutions for K -12 schools, introduces Edlio Accessibility, a new AI-powered accessibility tool. Designed to help school websites meet ADA compliance instantly, this new tool allows administrators to scan their online content with a single click, identifying and repairing accessibility issues to ensure a more connected school community.

We understand that constantly monitoring and fixing website accessibility issues can be challenging. Edlio Accessibility ensures school leaders that the school website complies with ADA guidelines so that every student and family can access vital information and participate in the school community.

“We understand that constant monitoring and fixing website accessibility issues can be a significant challenge for busy school leaders,” said Ali Arsan, CEO of Edlio. “That’s why we developed a comprehensive and easy-to-use solution, powered by AI, to check all accessibility requirements, ensuring every student and family can seamlessly access vital information. Compliance with ADA guidelines isn’t just a requirement—it’s essential for fostering an environment where everyone can participate in the school community.”

Using generative AI, Edlio Accessibility provides a rapid, accurate review of a school’s website. When used, it immediately corrects the vast majority of accessibility issues to ensure the site complies with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and meets Level AA conformance with the WCAG 2.1 standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

With a click of a button, Edlio Accessibility helps administrators address the following ADA compliance items on school websites:

Alt Text – Creates or updates alt-text for all images.Color Contrast – Fixes color contrast for text.Text Links – Corrects for missing or overly general link copy.Tab Navigation – Aligns heading structure within website copy, aligning for tab navigation.Tables – Corrects headings, columns, and overall structure, simplifying complex tables.

Beyond the initial review and clean-up, Edlio Accessibility can perform health checks on a school’s website to ensure updates and additional content meet compliance.

Edlio Accessibility also produces a list of more complex issues that need to be addressed, including PDFs or the general readability of the website’s content, required to meet accessibility requirements. For school website administrators, the tool generates a report, allowing them to easily review all pages and news items to ensure everything is current and compliant.

As part of Edlio’s ongoing commitment to school and district leaders, the company has always placed a priority on ensuring school websites serve everyone in the community. That’s why they have always designed school websites according to the latest WCAG guidelines and have included built-in tools for elements such as image alt text and video closed captioning. With the introduction of Edlio Accessibility, built directly into the Edlio website CMS dashboard, school leaders will now be empowered to ensure their school websites remain accessible even when new content is added.

FranklinWH Introduces Enhanced 15 kWh aPower in Australia and New Zealand

May 3, 2026

Expansion comes as policy shifts and rising power costs accelerate demand for residential energy storage

SYDNEY, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — FranklinWH, a leading provider of whole-home energy management and battery storage solutions, today announced the launch of its enhanced 15 kWh aPower battery in Australia and New Zealand, as demand for residential energy storage continues to grow, driven by evolving policy settings and increasing interest in energy independence.

The updated aPower builds on the company’s established platform, increasing usable capacity from 13.6 kWh to 15 kWh and raising warrantied throughput from 43 MWh to 60 MWh, an increase of 40 percent. These updates deliver more usable energy over the life of the system while maintaining the same footprint and price.

“The energy landscape is shifting quickly, and more homeowners are thinking beyond the upfront specs to what really pays off over time,” said Steve Ruskin, General Manager of FranklinWH Australia. “This upgrade is about delivering more performance over the life of the system, more usable energy, greater throughput, while staying true to our ‘buy once, buy right’ philosophy.”

The increase in warrantied throughput translates into savings for homeowners. Based on typical usage patterns and an electricity rate of A$0.35 per kilowatt-hour, the additional throughput may represent up to approximately A$5,950 in value over the lifetime of the system. The increase in usable capacity also improves energy density, lowering the effective cost per kilowatt-hour and supporting more efficient use of stored energy.

The 15 kWh configuration also aligns with current and upcoming policy frameworks benefitting residential battery adoption. This includes the updated Cheaper Home Batteries Program, with changes coming into effect for Australian homeowners from 1 May, 2026, helping households maximise value as incentives continue to evolve.

As the residential battery market expands, FranklinWH continues to focus on reliability and system performance. The aPower incorporates design elements to support durability, including structural reinforcement to reduce cell stress over time, per-cell temperature monitoring, and the separation of the battery pack and control systems to maintain reliable performance.

“We believe performance should be measured over years, not just at installation,” Ruskin added. “We focus on building systems that deliver consistent, reliable results over time. That long-term perspective is what ultimately defines value for homeowners.”

The aPower is designed to operate as part of the FranklinWH System, an integrated home energy management platform that coordinates energy generation, storage, and consumption. The system is designed to optimise multiple energy inputs, provide reliable backup power, and support more efficient and independent energy use at the household level.

FranklinWH is a market-oriented, research-driven company focused on next-generation residential energy management and storage solutions.
