Span Electrical Panel Installation
Span electrical panel installation involves setting up a modern, smart electrical panel designed to enhance energy management, monitoring, and control within residential or commercial buildings. Span panels replace traditional breaker panels with advanced technology that offers real-time energy insights, smart circuit control, and integration with renewable energy systems like solar.
Key Steps in Span Electrical Panel Installation:
- Site Assessment & Planning:
- Evaluate the existing electrical system and panel capacity
- Determine compatibility with Span panel and additional equipment (solar, battery storage)
- Power Shutoff & Safety Preparation:
- Safely disconnect power to the main panel
- Follow strict safety protocols to avoid electrical hazards
- Removal of Old Panel:
- Carefully remove the existing electrical panel and breakers
- Label all circuits and wires for organized transfer
- Mounting the Span Panel:
- Install the Span panel enclosure securely in the electrical room or utility space
- Ensure proper clearance and ventilation per code requirements
- Wiring and Circuit Transfer:
- Transfer circuits from the old panel to the Span panel’s smart breakers
- Connect Span’s communication hardware for monitoring and control
- Integration with Energy Systems:
- Connect to solar inverters, battery storage systems, or backup generators if applicable
- Configure Span app for energy monitoring, load management, and remote control
- Testing & Commissioning:
- Test each circuit and overall panel function
- Verify app connectivity and system response
- User Training & Documentation:
- Educate homeowner or facility manager on using the Span app and panel features
- Provide manuals and support resources
Benefits of Installing a Span Electrical Panel:
- Real-time circuit-level energy monitoring and control
- Smart load management to optimize energy use and reduce costs
- Seamless integration with solar panels and battery systems
- Enhanced safety with remote shutoff capabilities
- Future-proof solution for smart homes and sustainable buildings
