What Are Smart Panels? | Merrimack Solar NH
Meet the Future of Home Energy
As homes become smarter, why should your electrical panel remain stuck in the past? Smart panels are the next generation of home energy management, replacing traditional breaker boxes with devices that provide live insights, remote control, and tailored energy usage. At Merrimack Solar, we introduce homeowners in Merrimack, NH and across NH & MA to SPAN panels, helping them embrace a more informed, efficient, and resilient approach to powering their homes.
How Smart Panels Differ from Traditional Breaker Boxes
Conventional breaker boxes offer no feedback beyond a tripped circuit. In contrast, smart panels deliver granular, circuit-level data, showing you exactly where your energy is used. You can turn circuits on or off remotely, prioritize critical loads during outages, and integrate effortlessly with solar and battery systems for a holistic energy solution.
Key Features of SPAN Smart Panels
Circuit-Level Monitoring
Track each circuit’s consumption in real-time.
Remote Control via App
Adjust loads, turn circuits on/off, and respond to changing conditions from anywhere.
Outage Prioritization
During blackouts, focus your limited power on essential areas.
Efficiency Insights
Identify energy hogs, reduce waste, and make smarter energy decisions.
Improving Everyday Life & Energy Awareness
Think of a smart panel as your home’s energy dashboard. Instead of guessing why your bills are high, you’ll see exactly which circuits consume the most power and make informed changes. The result is a more comfortable home, predictable costs, and the satisfaction of knowing you’re using energy responsibly.
Perfect Partner for Solar & Batteries
Smart panels shine brightest when paired with solar arrays and battery storage. By aligning renewable generation, stored energy, and circuit-level management, you gain ultimate control. Keep critical appliances running during outages, use stored solar energy at peak times, and watch as your home becomes a model of sustainability and independence.
