About Palmetto
A clean energy platform built around local installation partners
The company describes itself as a clean energy platform. Its site says residential solar is offered through local pages for individual cities and states, and that installations are carried out through a network of installation partners serving local homes. On its Texas pages, the company says it has completed installations in Texas since 2020.
Its site also names Palmetto Finance as the part of the company that coordinates design, installation and service for LightReach. That role is central to how the company presents the offer: the platform arranges the project, and Palmetto then owns and maintains the system under the agreement.

LightReach: how the company describes its lease and PPA
LightReach is the name the company uses for its solar lease and, in some markets, its power purchase agreement. The company states that under LightReach there is no upfront cost, and that Palmetto owns the system while the homeowner pays to use it. Its site says a lease carries a fixed monthly payment, while a PPA charges a set price per kilowatt-hour generated, so PPA bills can vary with seasonal production.
The company states that one LightReach payment covers the panels, installation, monitoring, maintenance and a comprehensive protection program. Its Michigan page says LightReach PPAs are available only to eligible customers of certain utilities there, and that eligibility should be confirmed by address. The company also states that, as system owner, it claims the commercial investment tax credit and passes savings through in lower payments. Its pages present a cash purchase as a separate alternative.
How a project runs and what happens after activation
The company describes LightReach as removing the upkeep burden from the homeowner. Its site says Palmetto owns and maintains the system at no extra cost to the customer under the agreement, and handles monitoring, maintenance and repairs. Local pages repeat that point: with LightReach, the company states, the homeowner does not manage upkeep.
Its local pages also note steps around an installation, including interconnection approval from the serving utility before a system operates with the grid, and permit requirements that depend on the address. The company states that savings may begin once the system is active when the lease payment is below the current electricity bill, while noting that actual bills vary with household use, seasonal production and utility plan terms.
Production guarantee, protection and service area notes
The company states that LightReach includes a 90% Production Guarantee alongside its comprehensive protection program. On its Michigan page, the company says the guarantee comes with credits if production falls short. Its local pages use the same wording across states, presenting the guarantee and protection as part of the single monthly payment.
Service is described market by market rather than as a single national promise. The company publishes local pages for states and cities including Texas, Arizona, California, Florida, Michigan, Georgia, Ohio and the Carolinas, and its pages say terms, export credits and utility rules differ by location. Homeowners are directed by the site to confirm eligibility and agreement details for their own address before signing.
