Our take
Span helps homeowners looking to improve their energy resilience by replacing electric panels, many of them decades old, with a flexible smart panel that helps users monitor and control their energy usage from a single app.
Founded in just 2018, Span has made great strides in both price and technological development and has won the International Builders' Show 2022 Best Energy Efficient Product award for its Gen 2 smart Panel. Significant funding rounds have propelled product development, including a future-looking integration of its equipment with that of solar inverter, battery, and EV charger manufacturers.
This fast-developing and innovative answer to a previously stagnant home energy feature directly caters to the increasing demand for energy efficiency in the home. This is exemplified by a 2024 partnership with PulteGroup, the third-largest homebuilder in the US. With CEO Arch Rao at the helm, previously head of Products, Application & Sales Engineering at Tesla, Span seems likely to continue on its winning streak with increasingly affordable renewable energy products.
