Request Georgia solar quotes
Ready to compare Georgia prices?
Enter your ZIP code to ask solar providers that serve your area for quotes. Compare each quote with the checklist below.
Solar providers that serve your area may contact you, and they pay EcoGen for the introduction. Providers can include installers, solar marketplaces and lead exchanges, and more than one may contact you. How we make money.
Need to know
- We rated 12 Georgia solar companies on licensing, warranties, local presence, track record and options. The top three: Better Tomorrow Solar (4, Very good), Custom Solar Solutions (3.5, Good) and Solar Energy Partners (3.5, Good).
- Georgia has no full-retail net metering. Georgia Power credits each kWh you send out at 7.22¢ in 2026, and the large EMCs that publish a rate pay 2.6¢ to 5.121¢, so size the system to the power your home uses.
- Georgia has no solar license. The Attorney General says your installer should be associated with a licensed Georgia electrical contractor; the license is issued to a person, so ask whose license covers your job.
What solar costs in Georgia
There is no federal credit for systems you own and no Georgia state credit, so the price is what you pay. Batteries and roof work cost extra. Compare each quote’s price per watt with these numbers.

Solar incentives, tax breaks and rebates in Georgia
- Georgia Power credit
- 7.22¢ per kWh you send to the grid in 2026: a 3.2188¢ avoided-cost rate plus a 4¢ adder. Systems up to 10 kW AC, with a $100 connection fee.
- EMC credits
- Cobb EMC pays 5.121¢, Sawnee EMC 3.79¢ (since May 1, 2026) and Walton EMC 2.6¢ per kWh. Jackson EMC publishes no rate and charges solar homes $10 a month.
- Lease or PPA
- Allowed by the Solar Power Free-Market Financing Act of 2015 for home systems up to 10 kW AC. The utility must be told at least 30 days before the system starts.
- State tax credit
- None. Georgia's old clean energy credit only covered systems switched on by December 31, 2014.
- Federal credit
- The homeowner credit ended for systems installed after December 31, 2025.
- Georgia Solar for All
- Paused since August 7, 2025. There is nothing to apply for now.
- Property and sales tax
- No exemption to count on. The state sales tax is 4%, and counties and cities add their own.
Who qualifies, deadlines and sources: Georgia solar incentives.
What to check with your utility
Georgia Power
- Every kWh that leaves your home earns 7.22¢ in 2026. Power your home uses right away saves the full retail rate.
- The credit covers systems up to 10 kW AC. The old 1:1 monthly netting pilot is closed to new homes.
- The 3.2188¢ part is reset each January. Georgia Power filed 3.93¢ for 2027, which would make about 7.93¢.
- Georgia Power’s tariff says nothing about carrying unused credit forward or paying it out at year end.
Cobb EMC
- Pays 5.121¢ per kWh sent out under Schedule DG-1, in effect since February 1, 2026, for systems up to 10 kW.
- Start the online interconnect agreement at least 45 days before you connect. A $100 fee follows the meter swap.
Sawnee EMC
- Pays 3.79¢ per kWh sent out since May 1, 2026 (it was 3.48¢), for systems up to 10 kW AC.
- Sawnee can change the rate at any time and keeps the renewable energy credits. Confirm the rate before you sign.
Walton EMC
- Pays 2.6¢ per kWh through December 31, 2026, and you pay $800 for the extra metering.
- You must own the system. Ask for the 2027 rate before you sign.
Jackson EMC
- Credits exported power at its avoided cost but publishes no cents figure. Ask for the current rate in writing.
- Solar homes pay $10 a month, and the rider covers systems you own, up to 10 kW.
Other EMCs and city utilities
- State law makes each utility credit extra power from home systems up to 10 kW, but the utility sets the rate.
- Ask in writing for the credit per kWh, any monthly solar charge and the connection fee.
Check the company and its warranty
Three names can appear in one solar deal: the company that sells, the company that signs the contract and the licensed people who do the work. Check that they fit together.
- Contract company: look up its license on the Georgia electrical contractor license (State Construction Industry Licensing Board, Division of Electrical Contractors, Georgia Secretary of State). Georgia has no separate solar license.. The name must match your contract.
- Electrical connection: Georgia's Attorney General tells homeowners to make sure a solar installer is associated with a licensed Georgia electrical contractor and to check the license with the Secretary of State (https://law.georgia.gov/press-releases/2022-08-18/carr-warns-misleading-solar-power-offers). Ask who does it.
- Warranty documents: ask for the workmanship warranty, the roof coverage terms and each equipment warranty before you sign.
Before your first sales call, read questions to ask your solar installer and how to read a solar quote.
Compare your Georgia quotes
Ask every company to quote the same basics. Then the differences you see are real.
From quote to permission to operate
Some steps overlap, and timing depends on your town, your utility and equipment supply. Ask each installer for a written schedule for your project.
Proposal and site check
The installer looks at your roof, shading and electrical panel and gives you a written proposal.
You and the installerDesign and applications
After you sign, the installer finishes the design and applies to your utility for the connection.
Installer; you sign the formsPermits and utility review
Your town or county reviews the building and electrical permits. The utility reviews the connection.
Permit office and utilityInstallation and inspection
The crew installs the system. A licensed electrician connects it, and the inspector checks the work.
Installer crew, electrician and inspectorPermission to operate
The utility approves the system and updates your meter if needed. Turn the system on only after this step.
Utility
How we rate Georgia solar companies
Each company gets up to 100 points from facts anyone can check: its own website and Georgia’s public license records, read October 14, 2026. Facts a company does not publish earn no points. No company pays for its rating, and we do not use customer star reviews.
- Licensing (30 points): an active state license, a licensed electrician and license numbers printed on its website.
- Warranty protection (35 points): workmanship warranty length, roof-penetration coverage in writing and any production guarantee.
- Local presence (15 points): an office in Georgia and Georgia named as a service area.
- Track record (10 points): years installing solar.
- Options (10 points): batteries and the number of ways to pay.
Stars: 85 points or more is 5 (Top-rated), 72 is 4.5 (Excellent), 60 is 4 (Very good), 45 is 3.5 (Good), below 45 is 3 (Average). We did not inspect installations, collect customer quotes or test customer service.
Georgia solar company FAQs
How do I check a Georgia solar installer?
Ask for the Georgia electrical contractor license number and the name of the person who holds it, then look it up on the Secretary of State license search. Georgia’s Attorney General says a solar installer should be associated with a licensed electrical contractor. Then read the written workmanship warranty before you sign.
Does Georgia have net metering?
Not at the full retail price. State law makes each utility credit extra solar power, but the utility sets the rate. Georgia Power pays 7.22 cents per kWh in 2026 for every kWh that leaves your home. The large EMCs that publish a rate pay 2.6 to 5.121 cents.
Is there a Georgia solar tax credit or rebate?
No. Georgia’s old clean energy tax credit only covered systems switched on by December 31, 2014, and Georgia Power says neither it nor the state offers a rebate for home solar. The federal homeowner credit ended for systems installed after December 31, 2025. Georgia Solar for All has been paused since August 7, 2025.
Can I lease solar panels in Georgia?
Yes. The Solar Power Free-Market Financing Act of 2015 allows a lease or PPA for a home system up to 10 kW AC, and your utility may not block it. The utility must be told at least 30 days before the system starts. Jackson EMC and Walton EMC credit rules cover member-owned systems, so ask them first.
Will the companies on this page contact me?
Not because they appear here. This page is an editorial comparison. If you request quotes, the providers that serve your area may contact you. They can include installers, marketplaces and lead exchanges. Our page on how we make money explains how EcoGen is paid.
