Unlock clean energy for the life of the plan

Learn about our solar panels

Cleaner, abundant power

Generate power on your roof. Cut dependence on the utility. You still pay for the kWh the array produces on a qualifying PPA.

A plan that fits the house

We check the Illinois bill, roof, and credit. No public prices on this page. Your savings are guaranteed if you qualify.

Custom array for your roof

LightReach designs the layout for output and how it sits on the house — not a one-size field of panels.

Pair it with storage

Harness more of the power with a Duracell battery.

Protected power

The wall-mounted Duracell Power Center holds power for the house, not the grid first.

Seamless integration

Capture extra production during the day. Use it at night or when the grid drops.

Named hardware

How solar panel systems work

From sunlight to the panel in your house.

  1. 1

    Solar panels

    Photovoltaic cells turn sunlight into DC. Cloudy days still produce — just less.

  2. 2

    Inverter

    Turns DC into AC. Usually on an exterior wall or in the garage. Duracell microinverters when that package is specified.

  3. 3

    Service panel

    Power flows into the home. Extra production may go to the utility. After 2025, Illinois is supply-only net metering.

  4. 4

    Monitoring

    LightReach Protect watches production 24/7. A drop gets seen before you have to call.

  5. 5

    Utility meter

    When you need more than the roof makes, the house pulls from the utility. We run those numbers before anyone comes out.

Solar panel questions

Do I own the panels on a LightReach PPA?

No. Palmetto LightReach owns and services a qualifying PPA. You buy the power. Tax credits and RECs may stay with the system owner.

Is this a panel purchase?

Not on a qualifying PPA or VPA. You pay for the electricity the system produces if you qualify. This is not free solar.

Will I save money?

Your savings are guaranteed on a qualifying PPA. Credit and roof approval required. We run your bill first.

What does install look like?

Site check, design, permits, then install. City inspection, then permission to operate. Roof first with Cox Roofing if the shingles are due.

What about Illinois Shines?

REC value may lower your rate if the project qualifies. We do not claim Solar Connect AI is an Approved Vendor. Get the Disclosure Form before you sign.
