It can't talk to your solar system. It can't talk to your battery. It can't talk to your phone. When the power goes out, every circuit drains your backup at the same rate. No prioritization. No visibility. No control.
SPAN replaces that dumb box with intelligence. Load management, solar coordination, EV charging without a $5,000+ service upgrade. Its PowerUp technology lets you add EV chargers, heat pumps and induction cooktops without calling the utility for a panel upgrade.
In practice, that means the SPAN Home app can show power consumption circuit by circuit, help you decide whether an electrical service upgrade is necessary, and make the panel a better fit for solar plus battery backup than a standard breaker box.
