A Future-Ready Energy Solution for Your Home

At SumZero, we believe the future of home energy lies in intelligent design—and the SPAN Panel is leading that shift. Just as we’ve transitioned from traditional HVAC to high-performance heat pumps, we’re embracing smart energy panels to help homeowners charge electric vehicles (EVs) more efficiently, sustainably, and affordably.

Why SPAN Panel Is a Game-Changer for EV Charging

Unlike standard breaker boxes, the SPAN Panel is a smart home energy management system. It helps you monitor, manage, and prioritize your home’s energy usage in real-time.

With SPAN Panel EV integration, you get:

  • Optimized EV charging without needing a costly panel upgrade
  • Real-time monitoring of every circuit in your home
  • Faster charging for Level 1 and Level 2 EV chargers
  • Seamless integration with solar and battery storage systems
  • Remote control and scheduling from your phone

If you drive an EV, SPAN helps you make the most of every kilowatt—without overloading your home’s electrical system.

Solving Common EV Charging Problems

Traditional EV charging can be frustrating, especially when:

  • Your electrical panel can’t support a Level 2 charger
  • Circuits get overloaded when multiple appliances run
  • Charging schedules are rigid or inefficient
  • The setup feels outdated or overly complicated

The SPAN Drive EV charger solves these issues by intelligently distributing available power across your home, adapting in real time to usage patterns. It also supports 40-amp and 48-amp charging—maximizing charging speed based on your car’s capabilities.

Pairing SPAN With Solar and Battery Storage

SPAN Panels are built for clean energy integration. When paired with solar panels and battery storage, they allow you to:

  • Charge your EV using solar energy during the day
  • Store excess energy to use at night or during peak pricing
  • Maintain power to essential appliances during outages

It’s a holistic energy solution—similar to how a well-designed heat pump system replaces both your heating and cooling equipment with one efficient system.

Real-Time Energy Monitoring and Smart Meter Compatibility

The SPAN Home App gives you visibility and control over your home’s energy:

  • Track usage circuit by circuit
  • Set priorities for what stays on during outages
  • Receive alerts for unusual power spikes
  • Adjust charging times to match off-peak electric rates

For homes with smart meters, this pairing unlocks even more cost-saving strategies—just like using smart thermostats with a heat pump to optimize efficiency.

The Eco-Friendly Choice for Modern Homes

Choosing SPAN Panel EV integration doesn’t just simplify your life—it helps the planet too:

  • Reduces energy waste through smarter load balancing
  • Lowers carbon emissions when paired with solar energy
  • May qualify for tax credits and local incentives
  • Future-proofs your home for additional electric appliances

Just as heat pumps eliminate the need for fossil-fuel-based furnaces, SPAN Panels eliminate the inefficiencies of old-school electrical systems.

Why SumZero Recommends SPAN for Smart EV Charging

At SumZero, we install SPAN Panels for the same reasons we install heat pumps:

  • They’re smarter
  • They’re more efficient
  • They’re better for the planet
  • They save homeowners money in the long run

Whether you’re considering a new heat pump, a solar-powered home upgrade, or a Level 2 EV charger, the SPAN Panel brings it all together into one smart system.
