Estimate your savingsOur Founding Story
Palmetto was founded in 2010 by Chris Kemper, who, after years working for some of the world’s leading organizations on climate change, realized that stopping climate change would not be possible without changing our energy system quickly and on a massive scale. Kemper reimagined the business model for solar energy installs: stripping out costs and accelerating the buying process through tech-enabled tools and a decentralized marketplace of sellers and builders. Through Palmetto, Kemper has aligned stakeholders—policymakers, investors, business leaders, and consumers—in a shared mission of leading the world toward a clean energy future. Since 2010, Palmetto has grown to help thousands of people across 25 states (and counting!) make the switch to solar.
