LIFE IS PEACHY WITH SOLAR

Why go solar in Georgia


Many Georgians go solar everyday, partially because they like the freedom it gives, and partially because of the potential savings. Of course many homeowners are also trying to do something for the environment. The state actually has 312,450 homes on solar power as of 2020*, and the number keeps growing!

Solar incentives in Georgia*

Georgia is one of the few states that allow Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) programs that allow you to sell excess energy back to participating utilities. Jackson EMC offers a one-time rebate of $450 per kilowatt of DC, up to $4,500 for eligible customers. If you are a customer of Jackson EMC or Georgia Power, you are eligible for net metering, a policy that compensates you for excess electricity produced by your solar system at the same rate that you are charged for electricity. Importantly, Georgia Power’s net metering is capped at 5,000 households or 32 Megawatts of power, whichever comes first. After the net metering cap is reached, new solar customers will only be compensated at Georgia Power’s export rate, which is just $0.03 per kilowatt-hour.

Georgia homeowners are also eligible for the Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC).*** The ITC allows you to deduct 26 percent of the cost of installing a solar energy system from your federal taxes.

Solar panels perform in all kinds of weather

Going solar is a big decision, and although there are many factors you should consider, local weather shouldn’t be a deterrent. Solar panels are designed to work in almost any type of weather… even snow and clouds!
