Palmetto is a residential solar technology platform connecting homeowners with solar providers and providing software to help installers grow their businesses.
Palmetto Clean Technology is a residential solar and clean energy company founded in 2010 that operates a technology platform connecting homeowners with solar installation professionals and providing business software for solar contractors. The company has built a network of thousands of homeowners and solar service providers and offers its LightReach solar service agreement that allows homeowners to go solar with no upfront cost by paying a flat monthly rate. Palmetto also develops software tools for solar installers including sales enablement, project management, and customer communication platforms, positioning itself as a technology partner for the residential solar industry. The company raised over $175M and serves customers across the continental United States. Palmetto differentiates from direct installers like Sunrun by operating as a platform that empowers a network of local installation partners rather than owning the installation workforce. As the residential solar market has matured, Palmetto has focused on the technology layer that improves the efficiency and customer experience of solar sales and installation, seeking to play the same role in solar that platforms like Salesforce play in enterprise software.
