Solar panels will save you a lot of money over time, but the upfront costs aren't cheap. The average Georgia homeowner needs a 12.35 kW solar panel system to cover their electricity needs, which comes out to $31,703 before incentives. Prices range from $26,948 to $36,458, but after the federal tax credit, that drops by 30%.
Georgia currently gets nearly 3.5% of its electricity from solar panels, which is enough to power more than 359,000 homes. Georgia solar panels can help residents save $1,700 on energy bills each year. Discover the potential savings with Choose Energy®.
Georgia places in the top ten states for solar energy and is a national leader in solar energy generation. Utilities and large corporations in the state have invested heavily in solar power over the years. But you still might be wondering whether solar power is worth it for Georgia residents.
The federal solar tax credit and Georgia's net metering program helps reduce the expense. Secondly, solar panels are most effective on homes with lots of sunshine. Georgia gets plenty of sunlight, but some homes may have issues with shade from trees or taller buildings.
Here are solar incentives for Georgia residents: Federal solar tax credit (ITC): The federal government offers a 26% solar panel tax credit when investing in solar panels for your home. The credit is scheduled to decrease in 2022 and eventually disappear if Congress doesn't renew it. So be sure to buy your panels before the credit is gone.
For Georgia, you can use $3.52 per watt to determine the price of a larger system (system size x price per watt x 0.7 to account for tax incentives). High Power Bills? Cost: About $12,635 for a 5 kW system to $22,743 for a 9 kW system after tax credit. Savings: 7 year payback; about $24,566 saved over 20 years.
