About
SPAN has reimagined the electrical panel from the ground up, transforming a passive piece of infrastructure into an active energy management hub. At the core is the SPAN Panel — available in multiple configurations (MLO 48, MLO 24, MAIN 40, MAIN 32, MAIN 16) — which delivers granular visibility into room-by-room and appliance-level energy consumption. Homeowners can monitor usage in real time, identify energy hogs, and make data-driven decisions to lower their utility bills. One of SPAN's standout capabilities is its battery backup optimization: during outages, SPAN automatically extends home battery life by up to 40% by intelligently managing load priorities. Users can change which rooms or appliances stay powered during an outage on the fly via the SPAN app, eliminating the hard-wired decisions typically locked in at installation. SPAN also integrates tightly with EV charging (SPAN Drive), solar panels, and HVAC systems, making it the central nervous system for whole-home electrification. The companion mobile app provides solar generation tracking, self-sufficiency metrics, rebate and tax credit identification, and outage duration estimates. SPAN is designed for homeowners adding batteries or EVs, undertaking renovations, pursuing new construction, or simply wanting to reduce energy costs. It serves electricians, HVAC installers, solar installers, builders, and utilities through a dedicated professional portal.
Key Features
- Circuit-Level Energy Monitoring: Real-time visibility into whole-home, room-level, and individual appliance energy usage to identify wasteful consumption and reduce bills.
- Intelligent Battery Backup: Extends home battery life by up to 40% during outages by automatically prioritizing power to rooms and appliances that matter most — adjustable on the fly.
- EV & Solar Integration: Seamlessly integrates with Level 2+ EV charging (SPAN Drive), solar panels, and home batteries for a unified electrification ecosystem.
- SPAN Mobile App: Intuitive app included with every panel for remote control, energy analytics, solar generation tracking, outage management, and rebate identification.
- Multiple Panel Configurations: Available in five models (MLO 48, MLO 24, MAIN 40, MAIN 32, MAIN 16) to fit renovations, new construction, and existing homes of any size.
Use Cases
- Homeowners adding a home battery system who want to maximize backup duration and dynamically control which rooms stay powered during outages.
- EV owners seeking integrated Level 2+ charging management alongside whole-home energy monitoring to reduce charging costs.
- Solar panel owners wanting unified visibility into generation, consumption, and self-sufficiency metrics from a single app.
- Homebuilders and renovators looking to install a future-proof electrical infrastructure that supports full electrification from day one.
- Energy-conscious households aiming to identify high-consumption appliances, reduce utility bills, and take advantage of available rebates and tax credits.
Pros
- Significant Battery Life Extension: SPAN's intelligent load management extends battery backup duration by 40%, providing meaningful extra runtime during power outages.
- Granular Energy Insights: Unlike traditional panels, SPAN delivers appliance- and room-level data that empowers homeowners to make informed energy-saving decisions.
- Flexible Outage Control: Unlike hard-wired backup systems, SPAN lets users dynamically reprioritize which circuits receive power during an outage through the app.
- All-in-One Electrification Hub: Single platform integrates solar, battery storage, EV charging, and HVAC — simplifying the entire home electrification journey.
Cons
- High Upfront Hardware Cost: As a premium electrical panel replacement, SPAN requires professional installation and a significant upfront investment compared to a standard panel.
- Requires Professional Installation: Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician, limiting DIY options and adding labor costs to the total project price.
- Limited Utility Without Compatible Ecosystem: Advanced backup and EV features deliver full value only when paired with a home battery system or EV charger, which many homeowners may not yet have.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SPAN Panel and how does it differ from a regular electrical panel?
The SPAN Panel is a smart replacement for the traditional circuit breaker box. Unlike standard panels, it provides real-time energy monitoring at the circuit level, app-based remote control, and intelligent integration with solar, batteries, and EV chargers.
How does SPAN extend battery backup life by 40%?
SPAN intelligently manages which circuits draw power during an outage, automatically preventing unnecessary loads from draining the battery. Users can also manually reprioritize rooms and appliances via the SPAN app to optimize battery duration for their specific needs.
What panel models does SPAN offer?
SPAN offers five panel configurations: MLO 48, MLO 24, MAIN 40, MAIN 32, and MAIN 16 — designed to accommodate different home sizes, electrical service types, and project requirements including renovations and new construction.
Does SPAN work with existing solar and battery systems?
Yes. SPAN is designed to integrate with existing and new home battery systems and solar installations. It provides solar generation tracking, self-sufficiency metrics, and battery status data all within the SPAN app.
Is the SPAN app included with the panel purchase?
Yes, the SPAN Home App is included with every SPAN Panel and provides energy monitoring, outage management, EV charging controls, rebate identification, and more for no additional subscription fee.
