Palmetto made going solar easy. The online portal kept me updated at every stage and the installation crew was courteous and efficient. System has been running perfectly for three months.
Greg M.
Good overall experience. The LightReach program made solar affordable without a large upfront payment. Installation took one day and the monitoring app works well. Customer support response time could be quicker.
Lisa N.
From consultation to activation, everything was handled professionally. The team explained all financing options clearly and there were no surprises. Our bill went from $250 to a $12 grid connection fee.
