The SPAN smart panel: your whole home, visible and under control
See and control every circuit from your phone. Add an EV charger, a heat pump, a heated pool — even two EVs and a sauna — often without a costly service upgrade. And when the grid goes down, decide on the spot what your battery keeps running. Installed by certified electricians, at a clear price you approve up front.
What a SPAN install includes
A traditional panel is a black box. Yours doesn’t have to be.
You can’t manage what you can’t see
A standard panel hides everything behind a steel cover — you learn an appliance is failing or wasting power when the bill arrives or the breaker trips. Phantom loads alone can quietly eat 20 to 30% of a home’s electricity. SPAN shows every circuit in real time, so the waste has nowhere to hide.
Every heavy load you add fights for room
An EV charger, a heat pump, an induction range, a heated pool, a sauna — each is a major load, and a conventional panel often forces a costly service upgrade to add them. SPAN balances loads automatically, so you can add what you want and skip the upgrade in many cases.
Backup that’s frozen the day it’s installed
With a battery and a traditional panel, the circuits it backs up are locked in at install — chosen years before the outage you actually face. SPAN lets you re-prioritize from the app in the moment, so the battery protects what matters that day.
What the SPAN panel actually does
SPAN replaces your main electrical panel with an intelligent one: up to 32 individually controllable circuits, a 200-amp main, and a built-in gateway (Wi-Fi, ethernet, and cellular backup) tied to the SPAN Home app. Every circuit is metered and switchable — so you see exactly what your home draws, room by room, and can shut any circuit off from your phone, even from the lake house.
The benefits high-end homeowners actually feel
- See every circuit in real time — spot the appliance quietly drawing too much, and cut the phantom loads that pad the bill
- Add major loads without a service upgrade — SPAN sheds and balances automatically, so an EV, heat pump, or pool heater fits the panel you have
- Flexible whole-home backup — with a Tesla Powerwall or FranklinWH battery, choose and re-prioritize backed-up circuits from the app, anytime
- Stretch a battery far longer — SPAN estimates roughly 40% more backup runtime, and shedding non-essentials can take a 13.5 kWh battery from a few hours to well over a day
- Run heavy loads on solar — schedule the pool, the EV, the dryer to run when your panels are producing, and defer them when they’re not
- Remote shutoff & alerts — left the iron on? Kill that circuit from your phone, and get notified when something’s amiss
Built for the home that has everything — or will
SPAN is the panel for a home running real load: two EVs in the garage, a heat pump, a heated pool, a sauna, a wine room, a home theater. It’s NEMA 3R rated for indoor or outdoor placement, meets the UL 1741 PCS standard for power-control safety, and integrates cleanly with Tesla Powerwall (2, +, and 3) and FranklinWH. Adding solar, a battery, or an EV — or building from scratch? This is the do-it-once-and-do-it-right path. (SPAN truly comes alive paired with a battery; an internet connection is required for the app and over-the-air updates.)
A smart panel is only as smart as its install
Configured, not just installed
We don’t leave a box on the wall. Every circuit is named, grouped, and prioritized in the app, and we walk you through running your home from your phone.
Battery & solar integration
Tesla Powerwall and FranklinWH integrated cleanly, backup priorities set the way you actually live, and ready for solar now or later.
Load study done right
We size the main, map every circuit, and tune load management so heavy additions fit — the difference between a smart panel that helps and one that nags.
Permits & utility handled
City permit, inspection, and utility coordination (Austin Energy / Oncor / PEC / Bluebonnet) — all managed for you.
Certified & warrantied
Certified SPAN installers, the install backed in writing, equipment under its manufacturer warranty.
EV-ready by design
Pair SPAN with the SPAN Drive or any Level 2 charger and manage charging speed against the rest of the home (see EV charger installation).

From the first call to the last technician leaving, the crew went far above our expectations. We catch ourselves looking at the new panel like it’s a work of art — because it is.
They showed up right on time, answered every question, explained everything before they left, and cleaned up. I’ll definitely use them again.
