What Is a Span Smart Electrical Panel?
The SPAN smart electric panel is a home-energy monitoring product that allows you to monitor and budget your energy use during power grid failures. It replaces your traditional electric panel, fuse boxes, and circuit breakers to enable you to use one device that integrates with your phone to view the energy use of the various circuits throughout your entire home. Having a certified installer like the team at Kapital Electric, Inc. integrate this unit with your solar power or Tesla Powerwall means you can keep track and plan your energy use wisely at night when the sun goes down or during a grid outage.

If you’re considering the benefits and costs of a SPAN smart panel, you probably want to make sure that it’s compatible with the type of alternative energy products in your home. The good news is SPAN is compatible and can be paired with different types of home systems and product brands, including:

Why Choose Span Smart Electrical for Your Home?
If you plan on installing or already have solar power with a battery backup like the Tesla Powerwall, SPAN installation will help you get the most out of your energy solutions.

This product is vital for homeowners who:
- Are considering solar power with battery backup

Span Electric Panels Are Simple to Use
At Kapital Electric, Inc., we install systems that are easy to use and understand, like the SPAN smart electric panel. The SPAN connects to your Wi-Fi network and is controlled by an app on your smartphone. You can turn any circuit in your home on or off with the touch of a button. You can categorize circuits in the app, choosing non-essential circuits that alert the panel that those don’t need backup power when the battery falls to a certain level, conserving your power. Solar-powered systems can track the amount of energy your home produces, and if you have a grid-tied system, it will report how much power you’re sending to the grid. If you have a whole-home battery, you can choose which circuits the battery will power, such as the refrigerator and freezer, and which circuits should be shut off during a blackout.
