Upgrade Your Electrical Panel Without Upgrading Your Service: Meet SPAN
A SPAN Panel is an innovative new type of breaker panel that allows for whole-home energy management. It enables homes to add electrical upgrades like EV chargers, heat pumps, solar power systems, and battery storage without the need for complete system upgrades.
Who It’s For
SPAN Panels are ideal for homeowners who want to monitor and reduce daily energy usage, homes with backup battery systems, and anyone looking to add large electrical loads but may not have the capacity with their existing system.
Benefits vs Traditional Panels
A traditional breaker panel allows electricity to flow from the power company to connected loads (lights, receptacles, electronics, and appliances) and shuts off power if there is a problem.
However, traditional panels only offer basic functionality. They don’t provide energy insights, remote control, or tools to reduce consumption. Adding new electrical loads often requires costly system upgrades, and breakers can only be controlled at the panel.
SPAN panels provide that same core functionality with major upgrades:
- Save on energy bills: Manage energy costs circuit by circuit from the SPAN Home app and use intelligent insights to improve efficiency.
- Add value to your home: Prepare for upgrades like EV charging, heat pumps, water heaters, solar, and battery backup without expensive service upgrades.
- Control circuits from anywhere: Turn circuits on or off in real time through the SPAN Home App.
- Gain energy insights: Access a real-time dashboard with a full view of your home’s energy use.
- Peace of mind: Monitor appliance performance and take action when needed.
SPAN + EV, Solar, Battery & Generators
EV Charging with SPAN Drive
SPAN enables faster, smarter EV charging without requiring a service upgrade.
- Charge with solar: Use excess solar power to charge your EV and save up to $700 per year.
- Time-of-use charging: Avoid peak pricing by charging when electricity costs less.
Solar and Battery Storage with SPAN
SPAN improves backup performance and simplifies system design:
- 40% longer battery backup on average
- No backup loads panel needed
- Built-in Backup Overload Protection to prevent brownouts and resets
- Circuit-level prioritization with real-time estimates in the SPAN Home App
A centralized dashboard lets you monitor usage and see how long your battery will last.
Home Standby Generators with SPAN
Built-in load management and circuit-level control eliminate the need for additional monitoring systems and may allow for a smaller generator.
How SPAN Helps You Save Money
SPAN provides detailed insights into circuit-level energy usage, helping homeowners better understand and reduce their electricity costs. The SPAN Panel MAIN 32 also allows users to view estimated energy costs directly in the SPAN Home App.
SPAN can also help avoid a service conductor upgrade with PowerUp™, a smart energy management system that keeps incoming power below a home’s service rating.
