Simplify Your Day-to-Day Operations with Palmetto's Sales Platform
At Palmetto Solar, support to sell more solar panels begins with our powerful and exclusive customer relationship management (CRM) tool, Energy Intelligence.

Here's what support from Palmetto looks like at some of the most essential phases of your sales process:
Targeting leads. Palmetto's Smart Canvas tool enables you to generate curated lists of prime solar candidates in a given area by applying various filters such as minimum solar capacity, footprint size, and property type.

Engaging prospects. Palmetto's Sales Platform puts everything you need at your fingertips to successfully begin the clean energy conversation and generate enthusiasm amongst your prospects. Data tools support your ability to nurture sales at scale and keep your pipeline filled and moving.
Designing systems & generating quotes. Solar panel sales presentations can be a time sink, but not when you're a Palmetto partner. We have a roster of powerful tools that allow you to create presentations that are genuinely customized for each prospect. Data visualization transforms numbers into impactful pictures.
