Carolina-based solar and storage installer Sugar Hollow Solar is marking 16 years in business with a promotion designed to make solar more accessible.

The company is now offering residential solar and storage lease options through Palmetto LightReach. As part of its 16th anniversary celebration, Sugar Hollow Solar will cover the first year of solar and battery backup lease payments for the first 50 homeowners who sign a qualifying lease agreement by August 31, 2026. The company said the offer is intended to let customers begin saving immediately while maintaining a simple, hands-off ownership experience.

“Sixteen years in business is a milestone we’re really proud of,” said Doug Ager, CEO and co-founder. “This provides us an opportunity to give back to the communities that have supported us by making it even easier for families to invest in solar and battery backup. By covering a full year of lease payments, we’re not only removing a financial barrier for some families, but incentivizing even more homeowners to reduce their carbon footprints and start saving money from day one.”

The promotion adds another financing path at a time when solar installers are increasingly pairing equipment sales with lease and storage options to widen access for homeowners who want backup power without a larger upfront commitment. For households in Western North Carolina, the limited-time offer also comes with a fixed enrollment window and a cap on the number of participants, which means qualifying customers must act before the August 31 deadline.

The limited-time anniversary promotion is available through August 31 to qualifying homeowners in Western North Carolina. For more information, visit sugarhollowsolar.com/promo-birthday.
