Don't sweat the big stuff
LightReach offers an innovative approach to home energy management for those who value the financial and environmental benefits of rooftop solar but want the ease of an affordable monthly plan.
Predictable monthly payments
Solar production and savings will vary throughout the year, but your payments don’t have to. Lock in a low monthly rate for solar and pay less to power your home.
Installation and maintenance included
Since Palmetto Finance owns the system, we hold the responsibility and will install, maintain, and service your system at no cost to you.
90% production guarantee
We stand by our product! If your solar panels don’t meet our 90% Production Guarantee, we’ll credit you the difference.
25-year protection
Get peace of mind with a comprehensive protection program, included with every LightReach energy plan.
Estimate your solar savings with LightReach
See how LightReach can save you money
With LightReach, there are no investment costs to recoup, loan payments to manage, or maintenance needs to take on. As soon as your panels are active, your solar savings are too! Here’s how it works:
1
Assess
Based on your electricity rates and household energy needs, we’ll map your potential for solar savings, and design a solar system and energy plan tailored to your home.
2
Install
Once approved, we’ll design, permit, install, and activate a solar energy system for your roof.
3
Save
LightReach is designed to save you money. The average monthly savings on your electricity bill will be greater than the price you pay for your energy plan.
4
Grow
Your savings compound over the course of your contract, allowing you to build wealth and energy independence without additional costs.

Track everything from your personal solar dashboard
Unlike most solar leases, Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), or other third-party ownership models, the LightReach energy plan centralizes everything into one inclusive price, managed solely by Palmetto Finance.
That means you can pay your bill, track your project, monitor your solar energy production, or connect with support—all from your personal solar dashboard.
