Manage episode 319265175 series 2995497
Renewable energy should be convenient, resilient, and flexible for your lifestyle– as the Founder & CEO of SPAN, Arch Rao wants to modernize how you power your home by bringing household electric panels into the age of smart homes, so your electric panel can do more for you and your family.
SPAN Panels are digital electric panels for the home that easily integrate with both existing electrical systems and modern renewable energy and smart home devices. Traditional electric panel technology has largely gone without updates for decades, but SPAN is developing technologies that make clean energy accessible and simple, empowering homeowners to better control and understand their energy usage.
On this episode of Thinking Green, Mo and Arch discuss why decarbonization is critical, and why SPAN believes in developing products that speak for themselves and are built to make a difference now– no matter where someone is on their renewable energy journey, and without waiting for large-scale regulatory changes.
