Net metering in Georgia
Net metering in Georgia is limited. Georgia Power, the state’s largest utility, caps participation in its program, and credits are not always at full retail rates. Still, homeowners can reduce bills significantly by consuming their own solar energy during the day.
Payback and ROI
Because of weaker net metering, payback times in Georgia are a bit longer — around 10–12 years. However, over the lifetime of the system, total savings can exceed $25,000.
