## What is SPAN Home?

“This thing is a game changer. This is how you save money” - Jon Dawson, Next-gen builder


“A long-overdue, borderline genius product that puts much-needed control back into the hands of homeowners.” - Wired Magazine

“SPAN is now the center of my smart home. I’ve been waiting most of my life for this product” - A SPAN customer

SPAN reinvented the 100-year-old electrical panel with smarter controls for smarter savings. It replaces your existing electric panel and gives you complete control over every room and appliance in your home right from your phone.


From anywhere in the world, the SPAN Home® App allows you to:
Centralize your home’s energy data into one real-time dashboard, giving you a 360° view of your home’s energy performance
Make real-time energy changes at the room and appliance level to suit your needs and lower your energy bill
Uncover cost saving insights designed to lower your energy bill and save you money


When paired with solar panels and a home battery system, SPAN gives you the best protection against power outages by extending battery life by 40%, providing whole home backup on a single battery system, and the unmatched flexibility to change what your battery system powers in an outage.


Your SPAN Home can include SPAN Drive, a universal EV charger that delivers up to 41 miles of range per hour (48A, 11.52kW) of charging for the fastest charging speeds available - all without a service upgrade to install.


The SPAN Home App is constantly improving with free, over-the-air updates designed to improve your experience, and unlock greater savings.

### 1/5 — App and hardware are junk

*2026-06-04, version 3.18.0*

Ive had the span panel for almost 2 years now. I’ve had priority circuits go off when power events happen, engaged with support which proved worthless and the span app is complete garbage. Just buy a regular electrical panel and monitor it some other way.

### 2/5 — Cool App But Buggy

*2026-05-27*

The last version 3.18 has been freezing a lot on my iPad Pro. It will work for a minute or so, and then it would lock up which would require the app to be forced closed. 

Since multiple products are connected to some circuits, it is also not accurate in showing electricity usage. This is true despite me listing every device on each circuit.

### 1/5 — Missing fundamental features

*2026-05-03*

I have two span panels, but due to the models of them the app does not integrate both of them. Therefore I have to have separate sign ins for each panel, log off/login when I want to view each respective panel, and there are no integrated insights. This is fundamental flaw for me impacting their better customer. I will re review once this issue is resolved.

### 1/5 — Fix this, please

*2026-04-29, version 3.17.0*

Since this latest app update in 4/2026 every time I open the app, it launches a web browser to an advert for “ SPAN edge, intelligent service point” way to piss off your paying customers.

### 3/5 — The Most Important Control is Hidden

*2026-04-06*

The control titled “Custom Priority Order” in the PowerUp feature is hidden at the bottom of the page that you get to by clicking on “How It Works” in the PowerUp page. This control is the main reason I bought a Span Panel, and yet the app developers have hidden it in a place that’s hard to find rather than putting it where it should be, in the main PowerUp page. In addition, the graphic on the main PowerUp page is unclear and is not explained anywhere that I can find. To me, this feels like Span wants to use the PowerUp feature to sell the product, but doesn’t want the customer to actually find the control and use it.

Update: my panel now reports that I have not used any energy yesterday or today. Clearly false. If this is representative, it seems it’s not very reliable.

### 4/5 — Need to force quit

*2026-03-28, version 3.15.0*

The app works well, but I often have to swipe to force close it to get it to work.  If I don’t, it just shows the elements with no flows.

### 1/5 — Lag and delayed

*2026-02-20, version 3.12.0*

This app is an embarrassment for a company claiming to provide offer a smart electrical panel. Often the data is wrong, fails to load and stalls.

### 2/5 — No features pr updates in years

*2026-01-06, version 3.10.0*

No features or updates in years, original panels dont even get new interface. Monitors less than a $200 sense

### 3/5 — Time of Day Plans needs Work

*2025-12-19*

I have a time of day plan that provides truly free nights (at the cost of higher rates during day), but the app refuses to acknowledge that my Off Peak cost is $0.00/Kwh.  Please fix.  Warn a user that $0.00/Kwh may be wrong, but don’t block them from using that value, as some of us DO have that as the cost at certain times of the day.  (Tesla’s powerwall accepted $0.00/Kwh as a cost for off-peak…  deep state.)

### 2/5 — Crickets from help desk

*2025-12-18*

The app loses connectivity with my batteries so frequently I have given up trying to rely on it as a way to keep track of anything related to my solar array. The promise of the span product is great, but the reality is sadly and predictably nothing close to the mark. This is especially troubling after an outage and only portions of the 240v circuitry come back online in a way that can only be remedied by the support team. Troubling turns into outright anxiety when the batteries go offline and many (4+ and counting) attempts to get help go unacknowledged. Now I need to contact my installer to learn how to manage this system without input from the span panel's backbone tech. Messy.
