What Does a SPAN Smart Panel Actually Do?

SPAN replaces your main electrical panel with a monitored, app-controlled panel that tracks 100% of home energy use by circuit and can extend battery backup duration by up to 40% during an outage by automatically prioritizing which loads get power.

Function

What a SPAN Panel Does That a Standard Panel Cannot

A traditional panel is dumb hardware, it just distributes power. SPAN is a monitored, software-controlled panel that actively manages your circuits.

Outlast Every Outage

SPAN instantly prioritizes battery power to essential circuits, extending battery duration by up to 40% versus a standard hardwired backup setup.

Power What Matters

Choose which rooms and appliances stay powered during an outage instead of a fixed set of circuits decided at install time.

Protect Your Power

SPAN monitors 100% of home energy use to catch overloads and brownouts before they trip a breaker or drain a battery.

Room for Future Upgrades

SPAN automatically balances load, making it easier to add an EV charger, heat pump or induction range later without an electrical service upgrade.

Why pair it with solar or a battery

SPAN Makes Every Battery Install Work Harder

If you are already installing a Powerwall or other home battery, SPAN sits between your battery and your home's circuits, making the decisions a standard hardwired backup switch cannot: shedding non-essential load automatically when the battery runs low, instead of shutting off arbitrarily.

With Powerwall 3, a main service upgrade is rarely needed at all, since we land backed up breakers directly in the Tesla Gateway. SPAN is the answer when a homeowner wants circuit-level control or load management instead of a service upgrade, such as adding a heat pump water heater, induction range or a second EV charger without adding amperage.

  • Works with Tesla Powerwall and other battery brands
  • Starting at $8,500 installed
  • Avoids costly service panel upgrades for future electrification

Process

How a SPAN Panel Installation Runs

  1. 01

    Electrical Assessment

    We review your existing panel, circuit count and any planned solar, battery or EV charger additions.

  2. 02

    Permitting

    Electrical permit filed with your county, since this is a full main panel replacement.

  3. 03

    Installation

    Your existing panel is swapped for the SPAN panel, with circuits relabeled and reconnected, typically in one day.

  4. 04

    App Setup

    We configure the SPAN app, set backup priorities by circuit, and walk you through monitoring.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a SPAN Smart Panel?

It is a main electrical panel replacement that monitors 100% of your home's energy use by circuit and can be controlled from an app, extending battery backup duration and giving you control over which loads stay powered during an outage.

Do I need solar or a battery to install SPAN?

No, SPAN can be installed as a standalone smart panel upgrade, but the backup extension and load prioritization features are most valuable when paired with a home battery.

How long does a SPAN panel installation take?

The physical panel swap typically takes about a day, plus electrical permitting through your county, which usually adds a few weeks to the overall timeline.

Does SPAN work with Tesla Powerwall?

Yes, SPAN is compatible with Tesla Powerwall and other home battery brands, and can extend backup duration by up to 40% by prioritizing which circuits draw power during an outage.

Can SPAN help me avoid an electrical service upgrade?

Often yes. With Powerwall 3, a service upgrade is rarely needed in the first place because backed up breakers land in the Tesla Gateway. When a homeowner wants circuit-level control or load management instead, SPAN's automatic load balancing can manage peak demand from new appliances like EV chargers or heat pumps in software, avoiding the need for a costly panel or service upgrade.
