Palmetto is a clean-energy technology company that simplifies residential solar management to help homeowners live affordably and sustainably.
The company offers services ranging from solar installation to financing, energy monitoring, and smart home projects. But among its most popular offerings is the LightReach program, which allows residents to lease solar systems with $0 down.
What is Palmetto LightReach?
Palmetto LightReach is a solar leasing program and subscription service in which Palmetto owns the solar system and the resident receives the power. Through this arrangement, Palmetto handles the solar mapping and design, permits, installation, project management, and maintenance.
"You can lock in a rate that's lower and more stable than your current utility bill, with no upfront cost, and no maintenance to worry about," Palmetto says on its website. "With just one monthly payment, it couldn't be simpler." Palmetto is one of many TCD partners that you can connect with through the TCD Solar Explorer.
Why is leasing solar panels beneficial?
Many people find buying solar panels cost-prohibitive and mistakenly assume that they simply cannot afford solar energy. However, leasing solar panels is an affordable alternative that doesn't require upfront costs or the burden of maintenance.
If maintenance is required on a leased solar system, Palmetto monitors and fixes the issues, often before a homeowner even notices a problem.
The Palmetto LightReach program helps people lock in savings and set their energy rate for 25 years. It's an effective way to avoid rising energy costs and choose clean, dependable energy that's generated right on your own roof.
How Palmetto LightReach helps advance the clean energy transition
Each LightReach system is customized for each home to deliver savings after installation. Palmetto makes it easy for homeowners to keep up with their solar energy generation with a downloadable mobile app.
With solar panel leasing now a viable option, more people can save money on their monthly utility bills and curb their household pollution. Residents can also make their homes more resilient to power outages by pairing their leased solar setups with backup battery storage.
Leased solar systems pair well with energy-efficient HVAC systems, such as the ones you can learn about with TCD's HVAC Explorer. Meanwhile, the Palmetto Home app can help you access up to $5,000 in rewards to spend on home energy-efficiency upgrades.
