Smart Main Panel – The Next Generation of Home Energy Tech

What is Smart Main Panel?

Smart Main Panel is a residential electrical main panel with advanced features that allow for more nuanced energy management, increased financial savings, and improved comfort and convenience in the home. These features include:

• Seamless solar and home battery integration: Smart Main Panel is the first electrical main panel engineered with solar and home battery integration in mind. Smart Main Panel allows for a clean, all-in-one installation with no extra boxes, wires, or clutter – plus, its dedicated busbars and load centers optimize the performance of solar and home battery systems. 

• Critical load center: Ensures your most important appliances and devices are always prioritized, minimizing disruption during power outages or circuit overloads and allowing for easy home battery backup management

• Native energy production and consumption monitoring: View your whole-home energy flow in our intuitive companion app – easily customize settings and identify anomalies to optimize your home and save money on energy 

• Home automation: Delete the dozens of apps you’ve accumulated over the years to manage smart devices and appliances around your home – the Smart Main Panel brings everything together in one easy-to-manage dashboard

• Wi-Fi/cellular connectivity: Ensures stable and reliable connection 

 

Why should I install a Smart Main Panel?

The Smart Main Panel puts countless opportunities for home energy optimization and customization at our users’ fingertips. Some of the most popular applications include:

• Optimization of solar & home battery integrations: Smart Main Panel makes your solar and/or home battery installation cheaper to install, cleaner and more aesthetically appealing in your home, and easier to get the most bang for your buck through real-time energy management and home automation.

• Prioritization of critical loads: The critical load center on our Smart Main Panel isolates your most important appliances – such as your HVAC system, refrigerator, or any critical medical devices in your home – and places them on a unique circuit that can be specifically monitored, backed up, and prioritized. This allows the Smart Main Panel to ensure these critical appliances have power whenever possible, and power is restored as quickly as possible when interrupted. It also allows for home battery systems to prioritize these appliances with backup power when the grid is down. 

• Cutting costs in unfavorable utility billing structures, like Time-of-Use and Net Billing: Smart Main Panel and its companion app can be used to minimize costs during peak rate times by diverting or rescheduling lower-priority energy use to lower-cost times. This optimization can save homeowners hundreds, even thousands, of dollars per year. For homeowners in California subject to the new Net Metering 3.0 policy (effectively a Net Billing structure), Smart Main Panel preserves the value of going solar as a way to save money over buying energy from the utility. 

• Identifying “energy hog” appliances: Many homeowners would be shocked to see which devices and appliances contribute to large chunks of their energy bills each month. With Smart Main Panel, there’s no longer any mystery. You’ll be able to see instantly which appliances are using the most energy, and can act accordingly to ensure the usage makes sense in the big picture. As time goes on and appliances age, you’ll be notified if usage begins to spike on a certain appliance, signaling that service or replacement may be necessary (kind of like a “check engine light” for your home). 

• Automating home energy functions: With the Smart Main Panel, you’ll never again have to walk in a room and manually flip the same four or five switches. Our Home Automation feature allows you to set up custom routines and triggers for your devices and appliances, from the simple (like turning on the lights at 5 pm) to the complex – let your imagination run wild!

 

Smart Main Panel FAQs

 

Do I need to have solar panels or a home battery system to make a Smart Main Panel worthwhile?

No! As long as you use electricity in your home, you can benefit from the Smart Main Panel. Plus, if you want to add solar and/or home battery backup later, you’ll be better prepared with a Smart Main Panel already installed.

The Smart Main Panel starts at $2300 – click here to order yours, or request a wholesale quote today!

How many Smart Main Panels do I need?

Except in rare cases, one Smart Main Panel will be sufficient for residential use. The box 

How many devices/appliances can I have in my critical load center?

The Critical Load Center capacity is 200 amps. Even the highest-demand appliances in your home, such as the HVAC system, take up less than 50 amps, so you can easily choose your top 3-4 high usage appliances as critical loads and likely have room to spare. 

Your installation technician can help you choose your critical loads and ensure your Smart Main Panel is optimized for your home and configured safely. 

How long does it take to install the Smart Main Panel? 

The Smart Main Panel can be installed in just one day – however, the entire process, from ordering, to permitting, to installation, takes a couple of weeks. 

Can I install the Smart Main Panel myself? 

We don’t recommend it. However, installation is included in the low unit price of $1900.
