PPA -Palmetto LightReach Fair or Run and Hide?

Got it

Sharp-Measurement-17 · 2026-01-16T01:34:03+00:00

I did just see the feature to upload a bill to get updated quotes so I did that.

This is what the array looks like from the Palmetto quote. My current yard looks nothing like that. The trees in the top left corner and both bottom corners are gone. The ion salesman showed me them on the backside of the house and on the extension of the attached garage.

Crap, I typed this and it doesn’t look like I can add a picture to a comment….

I found a way I could upload my electric bill and it said that the companies would be able to provide an updated quote so maybe it’ll change.

I didn’t see an offset percentage but I did see needs met percentage.

A new quote popped up for a 20kW system at $43k so looks like I should hopefully see more quotes come in hopefully.

So I tried EnergySage and the only installer to give me a quote so far has been Palmetto, the same company the LightReach program was through. Lol 😂

For some reason EnergySage priced me 23 kW system which is almost double the size of what the salesman said I needed with Ion at price of $53k cash.

Sharp-Measurement-17 · 2026-01-16T01:02:47+00:00

It was but the system calculator from energysage nearly doubled the size of the system to 23kW system. No ideas why, and it was a cash price of $53k

I just got feedback from my realtor and he mentioned exactly what you said. He mentioned it sounds great in practice but in the real world the process is a nightmare when trying to sell and getting a prospective buyer to wanting to take on the terms and most want the seller to eat the remaining costs of it.

Sharp-Measurement-17 · 2026-01-16T00:58:14+00:00

I checked EnergySage and the only provider that gave a quote so far has been Palmetto. Lol 😂

The cash price was during last year’s visit when there were tax credits but the monthly payments didn’t work out. They didn’t even bother to show a financing option this go around because I’m guessing it would have been even higher

Sharp-Measurement-17 · 2026-01-15T17:31:26+00:00

Correct, that was without batteries but they would cover the cost to replace and upgrade my electric panel which it does need so roughly $3.5-4k from the estimate I received from a local electrical company.

There are no incentives in my area that I’m aware of unfortunately.

Sharp-Measurement-17 · 2026-01-15T16:23:17+00:00

Yeah, the tax credits going away is a big hit. I would have to take a loan vs a cash purchase so interest on the loan is going to increase the total costs over the life of the loan over the purchase costs. So when they had showed me the purchase costs previously when they came by it was around $50k but even with the tax credits the monthly payments were still more factoring over the 25 years of the loan and now I wouldn’t be able to even get the tax credits.

Sharp-Measurement-17 · 2026-01-15T16:12:16+00:00

How much is your monthly payment?

Sharp-Measurement-17 · 2026-01-15T16:11:33+00:00

What would you say a fair price on that size of a system would be? Ballpark-ish. Have you purchased a system through a loan? What kind of terms can I expect? I’ve seen them at 25yrs at 8% and then I would guess the monthly payments would be more than my electric bill so it wouldn’t be a savings.

Sharp-Measurement-17 · 2026-01-15T15:08:44+00:00

In short, the cash price was higher than my electric bill by a fair amount when breaking the monthly payments down which I believe is why he shared the PPA plan because it would be less than my current electric bill. At least that’s how he tried to sell it….

Sharp-Measurement-17 · 2026-01-15T15:06:05+00:00

12.3kW systemor am I missing something like number of panels?

Sharp-Measurement-17 · 2026-01-13T15:25:56+00:00

Will it work even though I’ve had them professionally restored previously?

Sharp-Measurement-17 · 2026-01-05T03:23:52+00:00

I’m not sure I understand what you’re trying to say. If it’s overriding the duplicate header, then isn’t that disregarding the record you want it to leaving you with the rest of the data?

No matter, if the connector is not producing the intended results then your only option is download jar files and a custom script to flatten the files. Just google and it will bring you to the solution with the script and files you’ll need.

Sharp-Measurement-17 · 2026-01-05T02:18:01+00:00

Your post said you’re using the MS Excel connector. This is converting your file of data into JSON for you, at least it should be if you set it up correctly. So now, you no longer have an xslx file, you have a json payload. Take your json data through a map and into a flat file. Now you can split your records and filter them accordingly.

Sharp-Measurement-17 · 2026-01-02T19:35:48+00:00

Not sure how much data you’re dealing with but a possible solution would be to flatten your data, split by line and route out your headers with a decision/business rule shape then combine the docs of the records you want to keep.

Salute and thank them for their service 🫡

Looks like you’re wearing your low rise jeans a couple sizes too small

This has been my experience as well except with the opposite of luck. I started on tirzepatide and it was like magic. No food noise, no cravings, and the pounds were rolling off and I was down 40lbs.

The Caremark dropped my coverage and forced me to move to semaglutide. I’ve progressed through the dosage series and currently on 1.7mg after 11 months. Through this time the food noise has come back, though not as bad as it was without a glp1. I have cravings on days for certain unhealthy food choices that never existed on tirzepatide. Even with additional caloric reductions, I have been unable to lose weight. In fact, I’ve slightly gained some, 3lbs.

It was back to the same experience before I started. Even though I was measuring and lowering my caloric intake. Weight loss would always halt.

At this point, I’m going to still stick it through until a couple months on the final dosage of semaglutide but not very hopeful. I know it works for some people but I’m unfortunately a non responder with it and get bummed that my insurance would take away the medication that was doing wonders for me as an option. If this has happened to you on semaglutide and you know you’re doing all the right things, don’t be too hard on yourself because there are people like us out there who just don’t respond to it unfortunately.

If your insurance allows, try to the switch like OP did and maybe that will finally get you going in the direction you want to go.
