LightReach battery lease — common questions

Straight answers about ownership, maintenance, availability, incentives, and what happens during an outage.

Start Eligibility Check

Who owns the battery in a LightReach lease?
Palmetto owns the equipment. They handle monitoring, maintenance, and repairs under the lease. You benefit from backup power and pay a predictable monthly fee.

What does “no upfront cost” actually cover?
Installation is included with no large purchase at the start. You make a fixed monthly lease payment for the battery system. Final terms depend on your site and credit review.

Will the battery power my whole home during an outage?
Most systems back up selected essential circuits (e.g., refrigerator, Wi-Fi, lights). Runtime depends on battery size and the total load. Use the estimator above to see a right-sized setup.

Is LightReach available with my electric company?
Availability varies by state and utility. Enter your service address in the eligibility form and we’ll confirm options for your area.

Can I combine rebates or incentives with a lease?
Incentives like SGIP or local programs have specific rules and funding windows. We’ll check current status during your consult and apply what’s eligible to your project structure.

What happens if something breaks?
Under the lease, Palmetto is responsible for monitoring and maintenance. If service is needed, it’s coordinated and handled through the program—no surprise repair bills.

What if I move?
Lease transfer options are typically available, subject to approval. We’ll review the process with you before signing.
