In some situations, installing more than one SPAN Panel may be required to accommodate your needs:
- Larger homes with many circuits (more than 32)
- Larger homes with 400 Amp utility service or larger
- Users with multiple properties
If your home requires more than 32 circuits, keep in mind that:
- Traditional “dumb” subpanels may be connected to SPAN via the 200 Amp rated subfeed lugs or to a 90 Amp branch circuit.
- SPAN supports tandem and quad style circuit breakers, allowing circuit capacity to increase up to 64.
-
- When circuits are grouped on tandem breakers or in subpanels, control and monitoring are combined in the SPAN Home App for these circuits.
-
- SPAN panels are only available with 32 slots, we do not offer smaller or larger panels. See our full list of panel specifications here: System Design & Specifications for SPAN Panels.
Considerations for multiple SPAN Panels:
We’re excited to build out additional functionality for customers with multiple SPAN Panels via free over-the-air updates. In the current software version, we offer the following functionality:
- Each SPAN Panel will report data separately within the SPAN Home App.
- Circuits from individual SPAN Panels are not able to be mixed into groups.
- A single battery storage can be connected to only one SPAN Panel. We recommend locating all essential backup loads on the backed-up SPAN Panel. SPAN Support is happy to provide installation recommendations for this configuration.
- Alexa can only be linked to one SPAN Panel.
- SPAN subpanels will be shown as a single Area.
Setting Up Multiple Panels
- You will be prompted to follow the onboarding process for your first SPAN Panel
- You will then be prompted to set up each additional SPAN Panel
- Access SPAN Panels via a drop-down menu at the top of your SPAN Home App Homepage.
- If other members in your home need access to other SPAN Panels, you will need to share each SPAN Panel with them
