Creative Solar USA, Momentum Solar, ESD Roofing Solar, Hannah Solar, Suncatcher of Atlanta and Palmetto make up our vetted Georgia network for 2026. Georgia Power credits exports at just 7.22¢/kWh and the state offers no tax credit, so the company that sizes your system to your daytime usage, rather than your roof, is the one that earns the roof.
Key takeaways
- Georgia Power credits the electricity you send back at 7.22¢/kWh, roughly half what you pay for it, so a quote that credits exports near the retail rate is wrong before the math starts.
- Georgia has no state solar tax credit, and the federal credit ended for systems finished after December 31, 2025, so the payback now rests on the power you use yourself.
- Typical cash pricing in Georgia sits near $2.72 per watt, one of the cheaper markets in the country.
- A system sized to the power you actually use during the day is what protects the payback. One sized to fill the roof can stretch it past 17 years.
- The six companies here range from Suncatcher of Atlanta, working in the Southeast since 1983, to Creative Solar USA with more than 3,600 Georgia systems installed.
