SPAN smart panel installation from CKR Solar brings real-time, circuit-level visibility and control to solar, battery backup, and EV charging systems across Florida, Georgia, and Alabama.
Why SPAN Matters for Solar and Battery Backup
Traditional electrical panels distribute power. SPAN was built to help homeowners understand and control it. With SPAN, homeowners see energy use circuit by circuit, make real-time changes from the SPAN Home app, and prioritize power during an outage — which matters for homes with solar, batteries, EV chargers, multiple HVAC systems, pool loads, and backup-power goals.
Battery backup performance depends on more than battery size. A home with poor load management can drain batteries quickly or overload a backup system; a home with circuit-level control can make better use of stored energy. SPAN helps homeowners decide what matters most during an outage — the refrigerator, internet, HVAC, EV charger, or freezer loads.
- See where energy is being used, circuit by circuit
- Control circuits remotely from the SPAN Home app
- Prioritize loads and estimate battery runtime during an outage
- Add EV charging and major appliances without an automatic service upgrade
- SPAN Smart Panel Installation prepares the home for future electrification

Compatible Battery Systems
CKR Solar designs SPAN into projects with:
- Tesla Powerwall
- FranklinWH
- Sol-Ark battery systems
- HomeGrid
- Enphase IQ Battery
- SolarEdge Energy Bank
SPAN states its panel can extend battery backup by an average of 40% based on an internal study of backup load priorities. Actual results vary depending on home energy use, battery size, and backup priorities.
Solving a 400 AMP Service with Smart Control
A 400 amp home service can make battery backup and load control more complex. On this Tampa project, CKR Solar paired SPAN smart panels with Tesla Powerwall to give the homeowner circuit-level visibility, smarter outage priorities, and a real path to whole-home resilience — not just more equipment.
CKR Solar is Your Trusted Partner for SPAN Smart Panel Installation
Before recommending SPAN, CKR Solar looks at the whole home energy system — utility service size, panel configuration, solar and battery design, backup priorities, HVAC and EV loads, and future electrification goals.
The SPAN Smart Panel Lineup
SPAN offers several panel configurations, and CKR Solar selects the right one based on your home’s electrical service, circuit count, and backup goals.
Panel sizing depends on the home’s electrical service and circuit count — larger homes with 400A services, pools, EV charging, and multiple HVAC systems often call for a higher-capacity configuration like the MAIN 40 or MLO 48, while smaller homes may only need a MAIN 16 or MLO 24. CKR Solar evaluates your panel and service size before recommending a configuration.
Built for Circuit-Level Control
Every SPAN panel — regardless of size — gives homeowners the same circuit-level visibility and control through the SPAN Home app. CKR Solar configures each installation around the specific circuits that matter most for your home: HVAC, pool equipment, EV charging, kitchen loads, and backup-power priorities.

Frequently Asked Questions About SPAN Smart Panels
What is a SPAN smart panel?
An advanced electrical panel that gives homeowners circuit-level visibility and control through the SPAN Home app. It helps homeowners understand energy use, manage circuits, and make smarter decisions about backup power, EV charging, and home electrification.
Does CKR Solar do SPAN Smart Panel Installations outside Tampa Bay?
Yes. CKR Solar provides SPAN smart panel installation across Florida, Georgia, and Alabama, with projects in Tampa, Palm Harbor, Dothan, 30A, Toxey, and the Miami / Villages area.
Does SPAN work with Tesla Powerwall, FranklinWH, or Sol-Ark?
Yes. CKR Solar designs SPAN into systems with all three, based on the home’s electrical service, battery capacity, and backup goals.
Can SPAN make my battery last longer during an outage?
SPAN states its panel can extend battery backup by an average of 40% based on an internal study of backup load priorities. Actual battery backup time will vary depending on home energy use, battery size, backup priorities, and storage system.
Does SPAN replace a backup-loads panel?
In many battery systems, SPAN can reduce or eliminate the need for a traditional backup-loads panel by allowing circuit-level prioritization and control. The correct design depends on the home, battery system, electrical service, and local code requirements.
Can SPAN help with EV charging?
Yes. SPAN Drive provides dynamic EV charging, and SPAN PowerUp may help some homes add EV charging without a utility service upgrade. Qualification, enrollment, and utility requirements apply.
Is SPAN useful for larger homes?
Yes, especially homes with high electrical loads, pools, EV chargers, multiple HVAC systems, or whole-home backup goals. CKR Solar evaluates service size and load profile before recommending SPAN.
Is SPAN only for new solar systems?
No. SPAN can be added to new solar projects, battery additions, EV charging upgrades, and many existing solar systems. CKR Solar can review your current system and determine whether SPAN is a good fit.
Is SPAN right for every home?
Not necessarily. SPAN is a strong fit for many homes with solar, batteries, EV charging, or future electrification goals, but CKR Solar evaluates the electrical service, loads, and backup goals before recommending SPAN Smart Panel installation.
