Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have solar panels to get this plan?
Yes, you need to have an existing compatible solar system that will not create any performance issues in order to get this plan. These do not have to be solar panels purchased through Palmetto. If you have existing solar, you'll simply need to acknowledge any related risks in your contract.
What if my existing solar isn't working?
The Palmetto Energy Backup Plan is designed to provide power backup and is not meant to fix issues with an existing solar system. If you're having trouble with your current solar setup, we recommend contacting your original solar provider to get it resolved before the battery installation.
Do I own the battery?
No. LightReach owns and maintains the equipment throughout the term of the lease to ensure it remains "worry-free" for you. You do have the option to purchase the equipment at the end of your term.
Will this lower my electric bill?
Savings are not guaranteed. The primary benefit of this plan is backup power and energy security, not bill reduction.
What are the available battery models?

Renew: Start a new lease agreement to keep the protection going.
