Span unveils smaller-size smart electrical panels

By Kelly Pickerel | August 19, 2025

Share

SPAN has two new electrical panel models ready to order: SPAN Panel MAIN 16 and MLO 24. The new products are designed to enable a variety of use cases, including solar and battery additions, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), EV chargers and other home electrification projects.

These two new models join the latest generation product line that includes SPAN Panel MAIN 40 and MLO 48, which are now available nationwide.

The smaller size of MAIN 16 and MLO 24 makes them ideal as a main panel for smaller homes, additions or multi-family units or as a subpanel for medium and larger homes. All SPAN Panel models offer visibility and control over every connected circuit and appliance, empowering homeowners to save money on their utility bills. And just like SPAN Panel MAIN 32, MAIN 40 and MLO 48, the new models offer SPAN PowerUp energy management system (EMS) software, which allows the addition of new, large electrical appliances like EV chargers, heat pumps, hot tubs and induction cooking without a costly utility service upgrade. When SPAN Panel is paired with solar and home battery, homeowners can set custom backup priorities and extend battery life by up to 40% in a power outage.

“The need for smarter, more resilient home energy systems has never been greater. SPAN has long seen the opportunity to solve for increased electricity demand without asking homeowners or utilities to face the limits of existing infrastructure. With the launch of these smaller SPAN Panels, we have a complete lineup of efficient, elegant solutions that solve for utility and homeowner needs,” said Arch Rao, SPAN Founder and CEO. “Regardless of the home size or panel model you choose, the newest generation of our product line retains the cutting-edge technology and ease-of-use found in the original model while also providing more choice, scalability, and flexibility for everyone.”

SPAN Panel MAIN 16 and MLO 24 are available for pre-order and require professional installation by a SPAN Authorized Installer.
