Visual Identity

Their approach humanizes energy and makes sustainability feel joyful, modern and unapologetically desirable.
Social Media

Marketing

Through bold visual storytelling, cultural fluency, and design-led differentiation, Palmetto positions solar as the invisible foundation for modern, abundant living; enabling homeowners to power more of their life without sacrifice.
This strategy revolves around four key pillars: abundance, lifestyle-first expression, design differentiation and cultural fluency. These pillars have helped Palmetto carve out a distinct position in the residential solar industry, resonating with homeowners who want modern living, comfort and clean energy.

Retro-inspired typography, high-contrast compositions, and studio-lit styling create instant recognition and separate Palmetto from commodity solar brands.
