MARLBOROUGH, Mass.<\/span><\/span>,\u00a0Sept. 15, 2023<\/span><\/span>\u00a0\/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0Dandelion Energy<\/a><\/u>, the nation’s leading residential geothermal company, and\u00a0Palmetto<\/a><\/u>, a technology company accelerating the adoption of clean energy, today announced a partnership that will expand access to renewable energy solutions by harnessing the complementary powers of solar and geothermal energy. The partnership will start with a launch program with Palmetto in\u00a0Massachusetts<\/span><\/a><\/u>, where\u00a0Dandelion expanded services in 2022<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n

Solar and Geothermal: A Powerful Combination for Homeowners<\/h2>\n

When\u00a0geothermal and solar work together<\/a><\/u>, homeowners can lower consumption and increase renewable generation, making many homeowners energy-independent. For homeowners, the power of geothermal energy and solar power together is even more personal. Lowering their monthly energy bills, minimizing environmental harm, and improving long-term home value for a buying cohort increasingly concerned about energy efficiency.<\/p>\n

How the Dandelion Energy Geothermal System Works<\/h2>\n

The Dandelion Energy geothermal system replaces traditional HVAC with a heat pump and underground pipes. These pipes transfer heat between the earth and the home. Meanwhile, a rooftop solar photovoltaic system generates the electricity needed to power the home. Together, they give homeowners true energy independence.<\/p>\n

Tackling Massachusetts\u2019 Heating and Energy Challenges<\/h2>\n

Heating and cooling represent almost half of the energy used in a typical home. Renewable energy holds the promise of supplying power needs cleanly, safely, and reliably. Technology such as solar and geothermal makes it possible to run homes and businesses without burning non-renewable sources such as gas, coal, propane, or oil.<\/p>\n

More than 25 percent of\u00a0Massachusetts<\/span>\u00a0residents<\/a><\/u>\u00a0rely on heating oil, and 52 percent use utility gas to heat their homes. These resources are increasingly expensive for homeowners while undermining the state’s climate objectives. It’s estimated that on-site\u00a0fossil fuel combustion contributes 27 percent of the state’s<\/a><\/u>\u00a0greenhouse gas emissions, making in-home efficiencies a critical part of the state’s energy transition.<\/p>\n

Palmetto\u2019s Clean Energy Operating Platform<\/h2>\n

Palmetto’s clean energy operating platform streamlines the process of getting residential solar onto rooftops. It uses an integrated suite of tools to manage sales, design, engineering, permitting, and fulfillment. The company is uniquely positioned to help solar businesses reduce soft costs, which often represent more than 50 percent of a project. Palmetto achieves this by using automated workflows, predictive algorithms, and local intelligence data.<\/p>\n

Leadership Perspectives<\/h2>\n

“Palmetto’s partnership with Dandelion Energy is not just about combining complementary clean energy technologies, but also our shared vision for accessibility,” said\u00a0Chris Kemper<\/span>, Founder, CEO and Chairman of Palmetto. “Palmetto’s platform is enabling a growing marketplace of home energy upgrades, and synchronizing the transition to solar and geothermal can pave a path for homeowners to achieve true energy autonomy.”<\/p>\n

“Our collaboration with Palmetto represents a leap forward in residential renewable energy solutions. The combination of geothermal and solar systems will revolutionize how homeowners perceive and utilize renewable energy,” said\u00a0Dan Yates<\/span>, CEO of Dandelion Energy. “This is not just about energy savings; it’s about building a sustainable future for generations to come.”<\/p>\n
