Palmetto’s proprietary app provides real-time monitoring of system production, consumption, and savings, along with remote diagnostics and service alerts.

While some customers note that communication during the permitting phase could improve, the majority praise the quality of installation, the monitoring technology, and the reduction in their electricity bills.
