Savant Power System delivers the most luxury-integrated smart panel on the market — 48 circuits, Savant Pro ecosystem tie-ins, and beautiful app UI. The closed ecosystem is intentional: Savant targets premium new construction where the entire home automation stack is Savant. If you're not already in the Savant ecosystem, the lock-in cost is prohibitive.

This panel qualifies for NEC 2026 service upgrade avoidance
When Savant's load management is active, it dynamically manages your home's total demand to stay within existing service capacity — potentially saving $2,500–$5,000 in utility upgrade costs when adding an EV charger or heat pump. Dynamic capacity: up to 100A managed load.
Ecosystem lock-in: Savant is a closed luxury ecosystem — full integration requires Savant Pro automation controller and trained Savant dealer.

How this is calculated: Battery hours = (battery kWh × 0.85) ÷ ((tier amps × 120V) ÷ 1,000). Assumes 120V average for residential circuits and 85% usable capacity. Average amp draw used for runtime (not peak). P3 shedding is immediate; P2 shedding triggers at 30% remaining capacity.

Load profiles are representative 24-hour patterns in amps at 240V residential service. Actual loads vary by home size, occupancy, climate, and specific appliances.
Shedding logic mirrors documented behavior: sheddable loads (dryer, EV charger, dishwasher) are deprioritized when load exceeds 80% of service capacity during peak-rate hours, or when battery SOC drops below 30%.
Peak rates shown are representative TOU schedules. Actual savings depend on your utility’s exact peak window, rate structure, and enrollment in a TOU plan.
Battery runtime is estimated from excess load above 25% of service capacity. Real runtime depends on battery chemistry, depth of discharge settings, and temperature.

The closed ecosystem is intentional: Savant targets premium new construction where the entire home automation stack is Savant. If you're not already in the Savant ecosystem, the lock-in cost is prohibitive.
Yes — the Savant Power System is UL 3141 certified, which under NEC 2026 Article 705 allows it to substitute for a utility service upgrade (typically $2,500–$5,000) when adding new high-draw loads like EV chargers or heat pumps. The panel dynamically manages total load so it never exceeds your existing service capacity. Check with your local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) to confirm NEC 2026 has been adopted in your area.
The Savant Power System hardware costs $7,000–$12,000. Professional installation (including labor, permits, and any required electrical work) typically adds $800–$2,000, bringing the total installed cost to roughly $7,800–$14,000. Get a quote from NuWatt for an exact number based on your home and existing panel.
For batteries, it natively integrates with Savant Power Storage. Most other brands are compatible via standard grid interconnect. Note: Savant is a closed luxury ecosystem — full integration requires Savant Pro automation controller and trained Savant dealer.
Yes — when paired with a compatible battery system, the Savant Power System is designed to automatically disconnect from the grid during an outage and manage critical loads from battery power. Its load management features can automatically shed non-critical loads (like EV chargers) to extend battery runtime. Without a battery, the Savant Power System alone does not provide backup power.
Yes — the Savant Power System supports EV charger integration. With its load management, it can dynamically share power between your EV charger and other high-draw loads (like a heat pump or dryer), preventing breaker trips without requiring a service upgrade. If you are adding an EV charger, the Section 30C federal tax credit is active through June 30, 2026 and covers 30% of EV charger hardware and installation costs (up to $1,000 for residential installations).
