About
SPAN Panel is a next-generation smart electrical panel that replaces traditional breaker boxes with a connected, app-controlled system designed to maximize energy efficiency and resilience. Unlike conventional panels, SPAN provides granular, real-time visibility into whole-home, room-level, and appliance-level energy consumption through its intuitive mobile app included with every panel. During power outages, SPAN integrates directly with home battery systems to extend backup duration by up to 40%, allowing homeowners to dynamically reprioritize which rooms and appliances receive power on the fly — no electrician required. The panel also integrates with solar installations, providing generation and self-sufficiency analytics over time. The SPAN Drive adds Level 2+ EV charging capabilities, making SPAN a central hub for whole-home electrification. For HVAC upgrades, heat pumps, renovations, and new construction, SPAN is designed as a once-and-done infrastructure investment. The SPAN app surfaces available rebates and tax credits, helping homeowners plan and finance their electrification projects. SPAN serves homeowners, electricians, solar installers, HVAC professionals, builders, and utilities through a dedicated Tech Portal. The product family includes multiple panel configurations (MLO 48, MLO 24, MAIN 40, MAIN 32, MAIN 16) and the distributed SPAN Edge for larger deployments. SPAN is best suited for households adopting home batteries, EVs, solar, or full electrification.
Key Features
- Room & Appliance-Level Energy Monitoring: Track real-time energy usage across your entire home, broken down by individual rooms and appliances, through the SPAN Home App.
- Smart Battery Backup Management: Extends home battery life by up to 40% during outages by intelligently prioritizing power delivery, with on-the-fly control from the app.
- Solar & EV Integration: Native support for solar generation monitoring, home battery systems, and Level 2+ EV charging via SPAN Drive — all managed from one app.
- Rebate & Tax Credit Discovery: Built-in electrification savings calculator surfaces available federal, state, and utility rebates and tax credits for your specific project.
- Multiple Panel Configurations: Available in five configurations (MLO 48, MLO 24, MAIN 40, MAIN 32, MAIN 16) to fit new construction, renovations, and existing homes.
Use Cases
- Homeowners with existing or planned home battery systems who want to maximize backup duration and control load priorities during outages.
- EV owners looking to add managed Level 2+ charging integrated with their home energy system through SPAN Drive.
- Households undergoing electrification upgrades — adding heat pumps, solar, or whole-home battery — who want a single control hub.
- New construction builders and renovation contractors seeking a modern, app-connected electrical panel as a competitive differentiator.
- Solar installers and electricians who need a professional-grade panel solution with a dedicated Tech Portal for fleet and project management.
Pros
- 40% Longer Battery Backup: Intelligent load management during outages significantly extends home battery runtime compared to conventional hard-wired backup setups.
- Dynamic Real-Time Control: Homeowners can instantly reprioritize rooms and appliances during an outage or at any time without calling an electrician.
- One-Stop Electrification Hub: Consolidates solar, EV charging, battery, and HVAC management into a single panel and app, simplifying whole-home electrification.
- Professional Ecosystem: Dedicated Tech Portal and resources for electricians, solar installers, HVAC pros, and builders streamline installation and commissioning.
Cons
- Hardware Purchase Required: SPAN Panel is a physical product requiring professional installation, representing a significant upfront cost compared to software-only solutions.
- Requires Compatible Ecosystem: Full benefits are realized only when paired with compatible home batteries, solar inverters, or EVs — limiting value in non-electrified homes.
- Professional Installation Needed: Replacing a main electrical panel requires a licensed electrician, adding to total project cost and scheduling complexity.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes SPAN different from a traditional electrical panel?
SPAN adds real-time energy monitoring at the circuit, room, and appliance level, integrates with home batteries and solar, and provides a mobile app for remote control — all features absent from conventional breaker boxes.
How does SPAN extend battery backup life by 40%?
SPAN's software continuously monitors home energy demand and automatically sheds or reprioritizes non-essential loads during an outage, preventing battery overloads and stretching runtime based on an internal study across 1,200+ simulated outage scenarios.
Which home battery systems are compatible with SPAN?
SPAN integrates with major home battery systems. Check the SPAN Tech Portal or contact a SPAN-certified installer for a full compatibility list.
Does SPAN work with solar panels?
Yes. SPAN integrates with solar installations to display generation data, self-sufficiency metrics, and solar output over time directly in the SPAN Home App.
What panel configurations are available?
SPAN offers five panel variants — MLO 48, MLO 24, MAIN 40, MAIN 32, and MAIN 16 — to accommodate different home sizes and service configurations, from new construction to panel upgrades.
