Discover how SPAN’s energy management system is transforming all-electric homes and communities like VISION House Las Vegas.
VISION House Las Vegas is more than just a model home; it’s a proof of concept for what a fully electrified, resilient future can look like. In this video, Green Builder Media President Ron Jones sits down with Stephen Kane, Director of Builder Operations at SPAN, to explore how SPAN’s smart electrical panel is reinventing how homeowners interact with and manage energy.
For over a century, electrical panels have remained virtually unchanged. However, as homes transition to all-electric and energy needs become more complex with EV chargers, solar arrays, and battery backups, the need for smarter energy management becomes increasingly critical. “We reinvented the 100-year-old electrical panel,” Kane explains.
SPAN’s intelligent, internet-connected panel does more than distribute power; it provides homeowners with visibility and control over every circuit in real-time.
One of the standout features discussed is SPAN’s integration with the SPAN Drive, a Level 2 EV charger that dynamically curtails energy use to prevent overloads. This gives builders flexibility and saves homeowners money without having to upgrade to an expensive 400-amp service. Even better? SPAN empowers users to make informed decisions about their energy consumption, extending battery backup during outages and helping reduce monthly bills.
It’s about more than convenience. As Kane notes, true sustainability doesn’t stop at installation—it’s about how we live day to day. With real-time insights, remote control, and seamless integration with solar and battery systems, SPAN empowers homeowners to become active energy stewards. “You can't improve what you don't measure,” Kane says, and SPAN is giving people the tools to measure and improve their impact.
