C) Expansion Program Requirements
The Palmetto LightReach Expansion Programs offer additional funding opportunities for our top-performing partners. While this program expands eligibility beyond the existing Eligible Sites policy to include structures such as townhomes and shared buildings (with pending inclusion of additional roof types), the increased risks associated with these projects necessitate stricter scrutiny. Consequently, projects under this program are subject to additional restrictions and more stringent approval requirements.
A partner's eligibility for Expansion Programs (e.g., Townhomes) is determined by their current Partner Performance and Tier Level, as detailed in the table below. Continued participation in the Expansion Program is contingent upon the partner maintaining sustained performance; a deviation more than 20% below the initial entry requirements will result in loss of access.
To participate in these advanced offerings please speak to your Relationship Manager about Training.
Category | Requirement |
Tier Level | Elite or Platinum |
M1 - First Time Approval Rate | 60% over 30 Days |
M2 - First Time Approval Rate | 60% over 30 Days |
Install Approval Rate | 70% over 90 Days |
