About Palmetto
Palmetto is a solar energy company headquartered at 1616 Camden Rd, Suite 300, Charlotte, NC 28203, serving the Raleigh-Durham Triangle and communities across North Carolina. Founded in 2010, the company has completed over 2,000 installations statewide. Palmetto employs NABCEP-certified PV installers and holds a North Carolina licensed electrical contractor certification.
Palmetto offers homeowners two pathways to solar: direct purchase and its LightReach lease program, which allows customers to go solar with no upfront cost and a fixed monthly payment. The company installs Q Cells and Canadian Solar panels with Enphase and SolarEdge inverters, plus battery storage from Enphase and Tesla. Palmetto’s proprietary monitoring app gives homeowners real-time visibility into system production, energy usage, and savings.
Palmetto carries a 4.2-star average from over 4,000 reviews on Birdeye and a 4.7-star rating on EnergySage. The company provides a 25-year warranty covering the full solar system and all components. Raleigh-area customers benefit from Palmetto’s statewide service infrastructure and maintenance team for ongoing system support. The LightReach lease option is particularly popular with homeowners who want to reduce their electricity costs without a large upfront investment.

Stephanie K.
Palmetto installed solar on our Raleigh home through their LightReach program with no upfront cost. The monitoring app is easy to use and our monthly payment is less than our old Duke Energy bill.
Eric J.
Straightforward experience. They explained the difference between purchasing and leasing clearly and helped us choose the right option. Installation was fast and the system looks clean on the roof.
Donna F.
The digital experience was impressive. Everything from the proposal to contract signing to monitoring is handled through the Palmetto app. Installation crew was professional and finished in one day.
