Going solar is one of the best ways to save money on home energy while reducing pollution that is warming the planet. Generating clean energy from solar panels instead of relying on the grid is a friendly option for the earth–– and your wallet.
Studies have shown that installing solar panels can save homeowners over $100 per month off their power bills, and a Forbes report estimated the cost savings for the average homeowner, over time, to be between $25,500 and $33,000.
So why doesn't everyone go solar?
The upfront investment can certainly be out of reach for some homeowners, but up-and-coming startup Palmetto is helping homeowners make the switch.
The scoop
Palmetto's LightReach program allows homeowners to lease solar panels, avoiding the upfront costs that can be prohibitively expensive.
This allows homeowners to lock in an energy rate that is lower and more stable than their current energy bills with no upfront cost. Palmetto also takes care of maintaining the solar panels as part of their leasing program.
LightReach systems are custom-designed for your home and energy usage, so you get all of the benefits of installing solar panels, minus the initial investment.
There is even an app for that. You can track your solar production in the Palmetto app to see how your choice to go solar is helping your wallet and the environment.
Save $10,000 on solar panels — or get them on your roof without paying for purchase or installation Whatever your solar budget, Palmetto can help you save. If you want to buy your own panels, Palmetto's concierge advisors can help you save up to $10,000 on installation through a network of preferred installers. And if you'd rather get solar savings without upfront costs, Palmetto's revolutionary LightReach subscription program can deliver. LightReach lets you lease solar panels with no money down, making it painless to lock in long-term savings. Palmetto covers a 25-year warranty for the panels, which means you'll get reliable performance without unforeseen costs. To get started, just answer a few basic questions about your home and connect with Palmetto's experts to find the option that's right for you. |
