Palmetto Clean Technology, Inc. – Leading the World towards a Clean Energy Future

Choosing a renewable energy provider is a great way to do your part to help protect and improve the environment. These alternative sources include wind, solar, hydroelectricity, and biomass, and can be harnessed to power homes, vehicles, and businesses.

Palmetto Clean Technology, Inc.  is one such company committed to the creation of a distributed, decentralized energy source they call The New Utility, which will replace the fossil-fueled, centralized energy model of The Old Utility. The company is working towards this democratization of energy by putting power and control back in the hands of consumers and inspiring them to make environmentally responsible choices. To this end, Palmetto has developed a clean energy marketplace, with proprietary technology designed to make it easier and more affordable for homeowners to source their energy from renewables like solar power. They have developed products that reduce costs and drive widespread distribution of simple energy management solutions. Palmetto is a triple bottom line, fully distributed company with teammates throughout the United States.

Leveraging End-To-End Solar Energy Solutions

Energy Storage: With a smart home battery for solar energy storage, you can store the excess energy produced by your solar panel array for use when you need it most. That means more savings, reduced carbon emissions, increased energy independence, and greater control over your renewable solar energy. It also means that when the sun goes down, the clouds roll in, or lights go off in your community, you can rely on clean solar energy to help power your needs. Palmetto's home battery stores the clean energy you produce today to keep your lights on and your electric bills low tomorrow, the next day, and into the future. Smart batteries require little to no maintenance and may qualify for local, state, or federal incentives. A smart home battery is the easiest way to boost the impact of your solar energy investment. Increase your use of clean energy and reduce your reliance on coal and other fossil fuels.

The Visionary Leader Upfront

Christopher Kemper is the Chairman, Founder, and Chief Executive Officer of Palmetto Clean Technology, Inc. He is a mission-oriented leader focused on technology solutions to climate change. His approach blends capitalism with environmentalism, focusing on re-imagining decentralized energy systems and a decarbonized future. As outlined in his manifesto, the New Utility Revolution, technological advancements and economic advantages created by clean technology are approaching a tipping point in the global energy infrastructure. The need to democratize access to clean energy and the need to reduce global warming and emissions is quickly driving the realization that clean energy now makes good business sense for the planet’s survival.

Christopher originally started Palmetto in London after refining his skillset in both policy and finance from organizations including Compagnie Financiere Tradition and the United Nations. In both capacities, he worked primarily with, and in, developing countries to deliver clean technologies in an effort to leapfrog and work outside of an antiquated centralized utility grid structure. He has undertaken study in economics and policy at the University of North Carolina, Ball State University and at Rhodes College. With his Master's degree in hand, Christopher aspires to complete his doctorate-level coursework in environmental economics, which he plans to use to continue educating populations about the environment and the ramifications of climate change.
