About Palmetto
What is Palmetto?
Palmetto is on a mission to lead the clean energy revolution — and the careers page is direct about who's invited along: "we're bringing good humans along for the ride." Operated by Palmetto Solar, LLC, the company has helped "thousands of households save with clean energy solutions" over 15+ years of operations.
The team frames the business model in three words: people, planet, and profit — "backed by a culture that values collaboration, impact, and balance." Customer-first isn't just a value: "When the customer wins, we win. It's not just a value. It's our business model. We're conscientious and empathetic to our customers' needs and work to improve their experience every day."
Five values guide how Palmetto works: clarity, action, adaptability, inclusivity, and giving teammates the space to do what they do best. As the careers page puts it: "We prioritize longevity and happiness, because passionate, consistent people will change the world."
Where will I work?
Palmetto is headquartered in Charlotte, NC ("the Queen City"), with HQ-based collaboration central to the culture: "Great things happen at headquarters. It's where we most feel the momentum and connection that comes from people building something meaningful together. And the coffee's always on." Some remote roles exist; the careers page emphasises the in-Charlotte experience and team meet-ups.
What is the Palmetto team like?
Palmetto's team spans engineers, designers, customer champions, and energy experts — all hiring across 29 active roles on the Greenhouse board (engineering, accounting, sales, product, operations). The careers page emphasises continuous learning: "Our industry changes and grows everyday. We want you to, as well, and we'll support you in getting the education and support you need to adapt with the job and grow." Each year, Palmetto awards the Grahammy Awards (named for the company's canine cofounder!) to peer-nominated teammates who embody Palmetto's values.
Work-Life Balance
Palmetto's PTO policy is framed as Responsible PTO: "You are trusted to take the time you need as long as the work gets done. It's all about balance, and we're big believers in rest and results." The JD confirms it as unlimited PTO with the trust-based framing.
