Palmetto State Solar Photos
Palmetto State Solar
Palmetto State Solar was founded in 2016 by Aaron Davis. Aaron has a long history in solar sales, beginning in California, and then expanding to the Carolinas. His experience with the in-home sales model had left him somewhat disenfranchised. He was the guy making promises that someone else was tasked to keep. When he started this company in 2016, he knew that he now had the ability to keep all those promises, and that's what he has done. From the initial contact, to the point of sale, to post install customer care, he has a system and a team that maintains excellent communication, and prompt service, every single time. There is nothing more important to us than producing happy customers.

My husband and I were leery of solar, but we took a chance and had Palmetto State Solar come explain it all to us. James came over, and WOW! what a great job he did slowly explaining the entire process and what to expect when they were finished with the job. Afterwards, we came up with questions (that James probably already had covered) and such great customer service! Jessica and Aaron were the two other individuals we felt with that also really care and are very knowledgeable. I’m so glad we didn’t lease our panels. Panasonic panels are what we chose, and we, and all our neighbors love the look! Call them if solar is of any interest. No hassles or pressure. Thanks, PALMETTO STATE SOLAR!
