Smart electrical panel for energy management

About Span

Span provides solutions for homeowners to manage and reduce their energy costs through its main product, the SPAN Panel. This smart electrical panel allows users to monitor and control their energy usage on a circuit-by-circuit basis via the SPAN Home App. The panel integrates with existing home energy systems, including storage systems and electric vehicle (EV) chargers, enabling homeowners to schedule EV charging during off-peak hours and prioritize essential circuits during power outages. Span's approach focuses on helping homeowners save on energy bills, claiming potential reductions of 15%, while also extending battery life by 40%. Unlike competitors, Span offers a program for electricians to become SPAN Authorized Installers, providing them with training and support, which creates additional revenue opportunities. The goal of Span is to empower homeowners, especially those in older homes, to upgrade their energy systems efficiently and cost-effectively.
