A SPAN smart panel replaces your standard breaker box with an intelligent energy management system that gives you real-time control and visibility over every circuit in your home. Paired with solar and battery storage, SPAN lets Ainsworth homeowners decide which loads run on solar, which run on battery during outages, and how energy flows through the day. Wolf River Electric is a certified SPAN installer serving Washington County.
