How the SPAN Panel Improves Home Energy and EV Charging

The SPAN Panel gives homeowners more control over their electricity use. Real-time energy monitoring, enhanced electric vehicle (EV) charging, and smart scheduling are all integrated. You can manage your home’s power with an app, helping you reduce energy waste while improving system performance.

Whether you own an EV, have solar panels, or just want better oversight of your energy use, the SPAN Panel is one of the smartest home upgrades available today.

What Is the SPAN Panel?

The SPAN Panel is a modern smart electrical panel that replaces your traditional breaker box. It offers visibility and control over each circuit in your home through a mobile app. That means you can track and adjust energy use room by room, in real time.

It works seamlessly with solar panels, battery storage systems, electric water heaters, heat pumps, and smart home devices. The result is a more intelligent and efficient home—designed around your specific energy profile.

Why the SPAN Panel Is Different

The SPAN Panel isn’t just a monitoring tool—it’s a full-featured home energy management system that actively balances power to avoid overloads and unnecessary strain on your system.

Key benefits include:

  • Smart power distribution across appliances, EV charging, and solar usage
  • Remote access to your panel and controls via the SPAN app
  • Dynamic EV charging support that shifts charging times to lower-cost hours
  • Solar and battery compatibility for clean energy optimization
  • Long-term energy savings through smarter consumption and better load management

Making EV Charging Smarter and More Affordable

One of the most common hurdles for EV owners is the need for an electrical panel upgrade just to install a Level 2 charger. The SPAN Panel eliminates that obstacle.

With a SPAN system, you can:

  • Add EV charging without a costly panel upgrade
  • Schedule charging during off-peak electricity hours
  • Monitor energy use and costs through the app
  • Balance EV charging with other household loads automatically

If you already have solar panels, the SPAN Panel helps prioritize solar power for EV charging—lowering your dependency on the grid and reducing your energy bill.

Easier EV Charger Installation

Installing a home EV charger can cost thousands if it requires rewiring or electrical panel upgrades. The SPAN Panel avoids that cost by dynamically allocating available power.

Benefits include:

  • No need for major electrical system changes
  • Works with all major EV chargers (J1772 compatible)
  • Future-proofs your system for additional EVs or high-load appliances

How Much Does a SPAN Panel Cost?

  • SPAN Panel unit: ~$4,500
  • Installation cost: $1,500 to $3,000 depending on the home

While the upfront investment is higher than a traditional panel, the long-term return is strong. Lower energy bills, smarter energy use, and potential rebates can offset the initial cost.

Ways the SPAN Panel Saves You Money

  • Optimizes usage to lower monthly utility bills
  • Enables you to tap into Mass Save rebates (for MA homeowners)
  • Increases resale value by adding energy-smart tech infrastructure
  • Allows pairing with battery storage to avoid peak demand pricing

SPAN Panel and Renewable Energy Integration

For homes with solar power, the SPAN Panel makes renewable energy easier to manage and more impactful.

With solar integration, SPAN:

  • Prioritizes use of solar energy before pulling from the grid
  • Lets you monitor solar production and battery charging
  • Helps homeowners meet net-zero goals with better data and control

Battery Storage and SPAN Panel Synergy

Pairing the SPAN Panel with a home battery system like Tesla Powerwall or Enphase IQ Battery offers backup power and better load control.

Key advantages include:

  • Ensures essential appliances stay powered during outages
  • Reduces dependency on the grid
  • Uses stored solar power during peak pricing windows
  • Helps meet resilience goals and electrification standards

SPAN actively manages when and how battery power is used, so you don’t waste stored energy—and always have it when you need it most.

A Smart Panel for Smart Homes

As energy needs grow, so does the need for intelligent infrastructure. The SPAN Panel is built to evolve with your home.

Smart features include:

  • Compatibility with smart thermostats, lighting, and connected devices
  • Over-the-air updates to support future technology
  • Full-circuit visibility through the SPAN app
  • Real-time alerts and usage trends
This is the future of whole-home energy control.

Why Choose the SPAN Panel?

For homeowners seeking to optimize electricity usage, improve EV readiness, and reduce utility costs, the SPAN Panel is a transformative upgrade.

It offers:

  • Simplified EV charger installation
  • Compatibility with solar and battery storage
  • Real-time energy intelligence
  • Long-term savings and sustainability
  • Greater control, comfort, and confidence

The SPAN Panel makes it easier to electrify your life—intelligently and affordably.

Make EV Charging Smarter With the SPAN Panel

Say goodbye to costly upgrades and energy waste. SPAN Panels let you install EV chargers, manage solar and battery storage, and control your entire home’s energy use—all through one intelligent panel.
