Most Bay Area homes weren't built for EVs, batteries, or smart appliances. SPAN Smart Panel changes that — faster and smarter than a traditional upgrade.
Bay Area homes built before 2000 typically have 100-amp electrical panels. That was enough then. Today, with EVs, home batteries, smart appliances, and heat pumps — it's not.
A 100-amp panel wasn't designed for Level 2 EV charging, battery backup, and air conditioning running at the same time.
A conventional 200-amp panel upgrade requires utility coordination, trenching, permits, and weeks of scheduling — before work even begins.
PG&E coordination in the Bay Area is notoriously slow. Many homeowners wait 3–6 months just to get approval.
You want Level 2 charging at home. But without a panel upgrade, a proper charger often isn't possible. Until now.
Not just an electrical panel. An intelligent energy system built for the modern home.
SPAN gives you real-time visibility and control of every circuit in your home through an app. Know exactly where your energy is going — and manage it.
SPAN intelligently balances your EV charging load with the rest of your home's demands. No tripped breakers. No overloads. Just clean, reliable charging every night.
Planning to add solar panels or a battery backup like Powerwall? SPAN integrates seamlessly — making it the foundation of a truly energy-independent home.
Watch how SPAN transforms the way you manage energy at home.
