What is a Smart Panel?

A smart panel is a type of electrical panel. It can either supplement or completely replace your existing breaker panel.

A traditional panel serves three main functions:

  1. Receiving power from the grid
  2. Distributing power to the circuits in your home
  3. Shutting off power to any overloaded circuits

A smart panel is a digital, internet-connected electrical panel that offers a broad range of capabilities for controlling your energy consumption.

There are two main types of smart panels:

  1. An all-in-one smart panel fully replaces your existing panel.
  2. More basic models work in conjunction with your main panel which remains the gateway between your home and the grid.

Solar Panels & Battery Storage

If you have alternate energy sources such as solar or battery storage systems, your smart panel can seamlessly switch between them and the grid to maximize your electrical bill savings and provide an uninterrupted power supply in case of an outage.

Solar Panels

Charge your battery storage system or EV—and run your home—on clean power you generate yourself, or sell it back to the grid.

Battery Energy Storage

Store power from the grid when it’s less expensive (or from your solar panels) and use it when rates are higher—or if the grid goes down.
