Our solar experience with Palmetto has been superb. From the initial knock at the door to the installation. The guy that came out to explain everything was friendly and knowledgeable. The communication, from the Palmetto team, up until the install was informative and we knew what was going on and when things would be happening. The installers were respectful and worked quick. We love how much we save on electricity!

This is the best solar company to do business with. I've been approached by other solar companies that didn't take the time to explain things to my understanding. Dominic Lofreso did an outstanding job. He came prepared with a lot of visuals and a well put together presentation. He made sure everything was going smoothly from start to finish. Customer service is very responsive. I am very pleased.

I am so impressed with Palmetto. They kept me informed throughout the entire process. The installation crew was uniformed, clean cut, and professional. They installed 20 solar panels, a new mast, upgraded my house to 200 amp service and updated the my circuit breaker box in one day. My solar panels went on line 4/1/26 and thus far I couldn't be happier. My electric bill is already $-186.00 and growing. On a sunny day I can turn on the a/c, every ceiling fan, and everything else I can think of. I still produce twice the power that I need. I would like to post my bills but don't want that much private info out there. You'll just have to take my word for it.

We have had such a great experience with Palmetto. Our solar panels went up without complication and we have now had 2 full sar mo ths and our APCO bill has been nothing more than our extended warranty for outside wiring. Our monthly payment to Palmetto even went down $20 before we made the first payment! It cost us absolutely NOTHING to get started either. I didn't bel9eve it possible but it's true and I would do it for every home I live in possible from now on! They look good too! They don't stick out like I've seen others do.

I’ve had no issues with Lightreach and the support. Installation was pretty quick, MetEd was basically the hold up but after that it was turned on pretty quick. So stay on top of your electrical provider to come out and inspect. I had an inverter that was not working and they came out pretty quickly to replace it.

My solar system was installed today and I commend panel crew; Jon, Frank, Patrick, Dave and electrician Jake for the excellent work they did with the installation. They were very courteous and explained things very well. They kept a clean and safe work area and worked well with each other. Also, hats off to sales guy Mason for explaining everything and fielding my questions.

Great Job by Palmetto - Rep; scheduler; installer
We cannot be more pleased with the entire process of getting solar panels installed on our home. From the first meeting with Mason Pfiefer, our Palmetto rep, the entire process went smoothly and better than we could have ever hoped for. Mason is extremely knowledgeable, personable, and professional about solar energy/panels, answering every question or concern we had as well as taking care of the entire process from start to finish. I would recommend Palmetto to anyone thinking about having solar panels installed on their home. Palmetto and our rep, Mason Pfiefer, are the BEST!!!

A Year In Review w/Mason at Palmetto Solar
If you are considering going solar, consider Palmetto. And more specifically Mason Pfeifer as your salesman. We just had our one year review meeting with Mason, and are more than pleased with our decision to add solar panels to our home. We did buy the system outright, but they also have lease options. Not only did we received a large tax credit last year, we have also avoided a 25% DLC rate increase; and we saved well over $1,785 this past year!! Throughout the past year, Mason has consistently demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise, as our Palmetto solar panel salesman. From the initial consultation to the installation, Mason provided clear details, and made sure we understood what to expect. He even brought us lunch!!! His knowledge of the product and services offered by Palmetto is impressive. He is dedicated to customer satisfaction, and his commitment to transparency and integrity made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. We highly recommend Mason and Palmetto Solar to anyone considering making the switch to solar. We are grateful for his assistance throughout this journey. Thank you Mason!!

AWESOME EXPERIENCE
My only regret is not doing it sooner. I was not educated in Solar energy and Mason our rep walked me thru everything and explained the process and how it worked so that I could understand. We started the process at the end of 2023 and the system was installed quickly and efficiently. We were able to turn on our system in January of 2024 and the first month was super cloudy and we didn't produce much ( thankyou PA winters) but Feb , March and April so far we have produced well over what we use. We did buy a system larger than we needed but we did that on purpose and if you can afford the initial cost then I definitely recommend going that route. Like I said my only regret is not doing it sooner.

Great Product and Great Service
Palmetto Solar “Palmetto are Rock Stars! They were great and finished well before the planned dates.” 1 2 3 4 5 Palmetto met with me via virtual meeting. Will Dennis was honest and up front about the entire process. He answered all my questions quickly and with documents to back his information. Once I took pictures and a plan was set up for the designation of the panels, the process began. Brandon Chambers was my contact, and he did a great job keeping me up with the process at each completion point. The install happened quickly, and the team of installers were professional, and quick. The entire process took about 4 hours. The lead installer walked me through the process and showed me the equipment that would be used which was fantastic. After the install was completed, I was told the next step was my utility company changing my meter, possibly within 30 days. Well 5 days later a new meter was in. Within 1 week Mr. Chambers called me to walk through the process of turning the panels on. It was so simple and 3 weeks sooner then the projected date. Mr. Chambers also walked me through the application registering so I could see my new investment at work. I was producing almost 2 times my use immediately. Amazing. Know I am checking it every day to see how much I am saving. Even on cloudy days it produces. I did the math, and this system will pay for itself in less than 7 years. I wanted to do this about 5 years ago and wish I had taken the leap. My house has a higher sale value, and I will only pay the customer charge from PECO, maybe not even that. Since, I joined "Time of Use" rates and hope to actually make some money from this. I would recommend to everyone that has sunlight on top of your property. Palmetto was the very professional and caring about my thoughts and opinions. I was worried at one point and Mr. Chambers called me to discuss my worry and put everything to ease. Very glad I did it and you will too, energy costs are so high with no end in sight.

Instant gratification
We first looked into solar panels in 2011, but we felt the technology was just not there and the price was just too high so now I’m more than a decade later we find that the panels were much more reasonable financing favorable but more importantly we had technology that was cost-effective. A close friend of ours recommended Mason Pfeifer from Palmetto Solar. They recently had panels installed and they were completely satisfied. We were using btw 1000kwh-1200kwh per month. Since our panels were install on 11/23, we not use 350-450kwh per month. Our bill now is a quarter if not less on average, plus some months we receive a credit that gets deposited into our bank account. Mason Pfeifer has excellent customer service skills and is well knowledgeable about this field, answering all our questions. Palmetto got us financing with great rates. My only regret is that we didn’t do this sooner.

Quick installation, great customer service.
I went with Palmetto after interviewing 4 solar companies and getting 3 quotes for a purchased solar syatem. Their price per kw was better than the rest and they also had the best interest rate. I was initially worried as I had never heard of them before but decided to take a chance and go for it, and I'm glad I did. From conversation, to roof mapping, to installation then turning the system on was about 2 months I believe, with the slowest part being related to the utility company. There were a couple things I needed to talk to customer service about and I was never on hold for more than a minute or two and always had my questions answered cleary within 5 minutes. I'm loving this company and since ultities have risen considerably my system is paying itself back quicker than expected. Additionally I'm in the process of getting two of my friends referred so they can be energy independent as well.

Positive Travails of installing a solar system
While I agree we all should go green if possible, the true responsibility of reducing macro CO2 emissions lay with corporations and governments. In my case I took a pragmatic approach towards saving energy, reducing my CO2 footprint, lowering operational cost, and obtaining the best return on capital employed. It took ~ 2 years to evaluate 19 proposals as there was conflicting information between them. Not surprising as each we’re ‘selling’ their proposal. While theres no such thing as a perfect proposal, due to personal experience in engineering and business, one proposal stood out from all the others, Palmetto. My sales person was extremely helpful in answering my many questions so I understood the full benefits of a solar system Not just technical specification’s of the system but in determining the intermediate term cost of ownership and the time of cost payback. He explained the pros and cons of various design configurations and helped narrow down which system best meets my individual needs. The 5.6 kw system consists of 14, 400 watt Canadian Solar panels, each connected to optimizers, wired to a 5 kw Solaredge inverter mounted next to the 200 amp electrical panel within the cool dry basement. It’s fully covered by a 25 year warranty, parts & labor. My home is a 8 year 2,200 ft^2, two story energy efficient colonial supplied with natural gas (heat) and electricity from national grid, Massachusetts. Due to harsh local weather robustness and long term reliability are more important than achieving maximum potential performance. I was looking for a Toyota, not a Ferrari. In the end we purchased a system that should provide 116% of our total electricity needs with minimal future disruptions. In the future we hope to purchase an EV which will also be used as emergency back power if necessary. The solar system is installed in a manner that will facilitate future modifications. The payback period is less than 4 years.

Wish I have gone solar sooner. I’m very happy with the result. 1) the process was quick and straightforward. 2) Palmetto is on top with maintenance. 3) it freed me with my super high electric bills during summer time. I can leave the AC on as much as needed now. 4) electric bill is now $22 per month.
