What Is the SPAN Smart Electric Panel?
The SPAN Smart Panel reinvents the 100-year-old electrical panel as a smart electric panel: a connected, intelligent hub for your home. Each circuit is individually monitored and controllable from the SPAN app, giving you whole-home, room, and appliance-level energy data. For solar homeowners, that means real visibility into how much energy you generate, store, and use, plus the ability to prioritize what stays on when the grid goes down.
Built for Solar and Battery Homes
SPAN is the perfect companion to your solar system and home battery. It is UL 1741 PCS certified as a Power Control System and is compatible with Tesla Powerwall and FranklinWH for clean, code-compliant integration. Pair SPAN with your solar array and battery to extend backup runtime by up to 40 percent, monitor self-sufficiency in real time, and get the most value out of every kilowatt your panels produce.

Why Solar Homeowners Choose a Smart Electric Panel
SPAN is more than a smart electric panel. It is the brain of a modern solar home, designed to maximize backup, eliminate guesswork, and grow with your family for decades to come.
Outlast Every Outage
When the power goes out, SPAN gives you precise control over which circuits stay live. Adjust priorities from your phone on the fly to keep the refrigerator running, the lights on, and the kids comfortable. SPAN automatically avoids unexpected battery drains and overloads, delivering up to 40 percent longer battery backup compared to traditional setups.
Whole-Home Energy Intelligence
See exactly where your energy goes, room by room and circuit by circuit. The SPAN Home App shows live consumption, solar generation, battery state of charge, and how self-sufficient your home was today, this week, and this month. Spot waste, validate your solar savings, and make smarter decisions with data that used to be invisible.
Skip Costly Service Upgrades
Adding an EV charger, heat pump, or induction range often triggers a $3,000 to $20,000 utility service upgrade and months of waiting. SPAN PowerUp intelligently manages high-draw appliances on your existing service, so you can electrify your home without tearing up the driveway or upsizing your meter.
Future-Proof and Safer by Design
SPAN replaces breaker swaps and panel rework with software updates. Add circuits, rebalance loads, and prioritize backup right from the app as your home evolves. SPAN is NEMA 3R rated for indoor or outdoor placement and built to category-leading safety standards, so it is ready for whatever you add next.
Build a Complete Energy System
Pair SPAN with solar and Tesla Powerwall for the ultimate in energy independence and control.
