Frequently Asked Questions About SPAN Smart Panels in Portland, OR
How much does a SPAN Smart Panel cost in Portland, Oregon?
The SPAN Smart Panel itself has a manufacturer’s list price, and total installed cost varies based on your home’s existing electrical setup, the size of your current panel, and whether you’re adding it alongside solar or battery storage. Power Northwest provides itemized, no-obligation quotes. Contact us to get a project-specific number for your Portland home.
Is the SPAN Smart Panel worth it in Oregon?
For Portland homeowners with solar, battery storage, an EV, or anyone who’s planning to add them, SPAN typically pays for itself through smarter energy management, extended battery life, and simplified installations. This is particularly true in cases where electrification efforts would require an upgrade to your home's utility service. For help understanding how SPAN fits into your energy plans, contact Power Northwest for a consultation.
Does the SPAN panel work with my existing solar system?
Yes. SPAN is compatible with all major solar inverter brands and integrates natively with Tesla Powerwall and Franklin battery systems. If you have an existing solar system, Power Northwest can assess compatibility and integrate SPAN into your current setup.
Does SPAN replace my existing electrical panel, or is it an add-on?
The answer is both! SPAN offers both main panels and sub panels in it's lineup of products. This allows you more flexibility if you don't want to swap out your existing panel but want greater control over a subset of your electrical circuits. Your licensed electrician from Power Northwest will work with you on the best course of action for your home, ensure all circuits are properly mapped in the SPAN app, and have your system up and running before leaving the job site.
How long does SPAN installation take?
For most Portland-area homes, a SPAN panel installation takes between 4-8 hours depending on panel size, home age, and whether it’s paired with other work (solar, battery, EV charger). We coordinate all necessary permits and inspections with the City of Portland and relevant jurisdictions.
Do I need a permit to install a SPAN Smart Panel in Portland?
Yes, electrical panel replacements require a permit and inspection in Portland, Beaverton, and throughout the metro area. Power Northwest handles the permitting process as part of every installation. All work is performed by licensed electricians and inspected to code.
Does SPAN work with Oregon’s grid outages and time-of-use rates?
Yes. SPAN’s intelligent load management lets you automatically shift energy usage away from Portland General Electric’s or Pacific Power’s peak rate hours, and prioritize battery backup for outages. This is especially useful in neighborhoods prone to wind or ice-related outages in the Gorge or West Hills.
