Our 1st SPAN Panel Install - Part 1

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money.

Synopsis:
Through our partnership with Tesla we’ve also been introduced to SPAN. SPAN is a smart panel company founded by former Tesla execs with well-designed features in the realm of secondary & off-grid power systems. While a SPAN panel is not for everyone, we would highly recommend it for anyone investing in solar and/or battery storage.

While the SPAN panel is a beautiful and well-planned piece of hardware, it does have some quirks that we’ll point out in this video as we open it up and prepare to swap it in for a previously installed “dumb” panel.

Laced within the technical instruction are recommendations and points of professionalism employed daily by Jefferson Electric masters, journeymen, & apprentices.

EPro-To-Call:
You’ve got the tools and the willingness to solve your own electrical problem, but are held up by a couple ominous details. Rather than hiring out the whole project, get EPro’s own Joel Walsman on a video or voice call here: https://electric-pro-academy.square.site/
