Palmetto, a leading provider of clean technology products and services and the Official Energy Sponsor of Climate Week NYC 2025, has officially announced the launch of its new consumer app, which is designed to make clean energy simple, accessible, and actionable for homeowners throughout the United States.
According to certain reports, this particular app, already available to Palmetto’s customers, is now available to non-Palmetto customers who are in search of best in class data to optimize their energy usage.
To understand the significance of such a development, we must take into account one Smart Energy Consumer Collaborative survey where it was discovered that 31% of US consumers struggled to pay their electricity bill over the last 12 months (up from 25% just 2 years before). Not just that, a separate survey conducted by ICF also claims that retail electricity rates in the U.S. will rise by 15–40% before the year 2030 comes to a close.
Against that, Palmetto app makes it possible for users to track their home energy usage in real time, estimate potential savings, as well as avail rewards for meeting goals. If we talk particularly about users with solar, the app experience also treads up a long distance to facilitate a view into grid exports. More on the same would reveal how the idea here is to simplify the process of analyzing how much a household is taking from the grid versus contributing to it, thus encouraging active grid participation.
“Climate Week NYC is about turning commitments into action, and this year’s theme, Power On, captures that momentum,” said Angela Barranco, Executive Director, North America, The Climate Group. “I applaud Palmetto’s initiative in utilizing new technology to create more value for their customers and accelerate the transition from ambition to impact.”
Taking a deeper view of Palmetto’s latest brainchild, we begin from the promise of weekly energy “budget” challenges that are based on your past consumption.
Next up, users can come expecting rewards tied to real-life savings, as well as points that can be redeemed to lower the cost of energy upgrades, including solar and HVAC. Another detail worth a mention is rooted in the availability of one energy-saving recommendation engine, capable of helping users reduce their monthly spend.
Beyond that, there is an assortment of cost-saving products that can be selected, financed, installed, and serviced by Palmetto
Rounding up highlights would be the prospect of exclusive discounts on products from industry-leading partners, including smart thermostats from ecobee for greater energy and cost savings, energy monitors and EV chargers from Emporia, along with many others.
Founded in 2010, Palmetto’s rise up the ranks stems from simplifying the adoption of renewable energy for homeowners, fostering innovation among businesses and clean tech entrepreneurs, and conceiving scalable environmental impact. This the company does by packaging digital tools, data assets, and actionable insights, eventually creating an end-to-end solution designed to deliver industry-leading outcomes.
“The energy transition can’t just be a policy conversation, it has to be something people can touch, use, and benefit from in their everyday lives,” said Chris Kemper, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Palmetto. “Our new app is a key part of our focus on the consumer, empowering families to take control of their energy use while helping drive down the overall cost of clean energy adoption. By putting consumers at the center, we’re delivering solutions that provide both financial savings and long-term resilience.”
