Georgia has strong sun (4.5–5.5 hours), but Georgia Power’s avoided-cost export rate changes the math. Here are 15 city guides with the honest analysis for each community.
Georgia is a nuanced solar market that requires honest guidance. The state has excellent sun resources — 4.5 to 5.5 peak hours daily, more in southern Georgia. But Georgia Power, which serves most of the state, does not offer retail-rate net metering. Excess solar exported to the Georgia Power grid earns approximately $0.03 to $0.05/kWh — far below the retail rate. This fundamentally changes how Georgia homeowners should approach system sizing and financial expectations.
