Bringing Solar Power to Homes Across Georgia
Georgia homeowners are paying more each year for electricity. Between summer heat, steady rate hikes, and a grid that’s strained with growing demands, it’s costing more and more just to be comfortable. And when storms roll through and the grid flickers, people start wondering why they’re even paying for a grid that doesn’t keep the lights on.
At Zero Grid Power, we install solar and battery systems designed for Georgia homes, so you can save money on power and keep the lights on when the grid goes dark.

Let’s walk through what solar looks like in Georgia and see if it’s a good fit for you and your family.
Is It Worth Going Solar in Georgia?
For homeowners paying over $150 on their monthly electric bill, solar simply makes sense.
With a well-designed solar and battery setup, you’re less dependent on the utility and protected from unpredictable outages. Georgia sees about 200 sunny days a year, which is plenty to power your home. Even during cloudy days or stormy weeks, your panels continue producing power (just at a lower rate), and your battery stores excess for nighttime, peak-rate hours, or emergencies.
This is energy independence. With solar, you have control over your electricity bills and your comfort and safety. No waiting on repair crews or tossing out groceries after a long outage.
How Solar + Battery Systems Work
Your panels collect sunlight during the day, turning it into clean electricity for your home. Any extra energy goes to your backup battery instead of flowing back to the grid. When the sun goes down or the power goes out, that stored energy can run your essential appliances. Backup batteries also help you save even more. Zero Grid installs smart energy systems that will pull from stored energy when utility rates are at their highest.
In Georgia, where power outages and grid congestion are the norm, adding a battery makes your solar system work the way you actually need it to. Most Zero Grid customers choose to include one because they want to maximize savings and gain peace of mind.
Cost of Solar in Georgia
Solar costs in Georgia depend on a few key factors:
System Size and Energy Needs:
How much power your household uses.
Equipment:
Number of panels, inverters, and battery capacity.
Roof Design and Shading:
Every home’s setup is different.
Most homeowners finance their system with no upfront cost, paying a predictable monthly rate that replaces part of their utility bill. Over time, those payments end while your system keeps producing free power for decades.
Buying vs. Leasing vs. Power Purchase Agreements
There are a few ways to go solar in Georgia:
Buying: You own the system, boost home value, and get the highest long-term savings.
Leasing: The company owns the system, you pay a fixed monthly rate, and enjoy lower bills without ownership responsibility.
Power Purchase Agreement (PPA): You pay only for the power the system produces, typically at a rate lower than your utility.
At Zero Grid, we’ll walk you through each option and run the numbers based on your home and goals. We don’t use sales scripts; we just offer honest guidance.

Why Choose Zero Grid Power
We know choosing a solar installer is a big decision. You’re trusting someone with your home and your money. At Zero Grid, we handle solar differently than most companies, and it starts with who’s actually on your roof. Every installation is done by our own crews. They’re not subcontractors who just got into solar. They’re part of our team, they’re trained and certified, and they’ve worked together on hundreds of projects across The Peach State.
We design your system based on your roof and your energy usage. Some companies push standardized packages because it’s easier for them. We take the extra time because your house isn’t a template.
When you need something after installation, such as scheduling servicing, or just have a question, you call us and you get us. Not a call center. Not a voicemail system. You talk to the team who knows your system.
And here’s something worth mentioning: if we evaluate your property and solar isn’t a great fit for you, we’ll tell you that. We’re not here to push solar onto everyone. We’re here to help the people it really makes sense for.
FAQs
Does solar make sense in Georgia?
Yes. Georgia gets plenty of sun, and with power costs and outages on the rise, solar is a practical choice. Solar panels and back-up batteries keep homes running and lower monthly bills.
Does Georgia have net metering?
Georgia Power uses a net billing program, which credits customers for the energy they send back to the grid. While it’s not a full one-to-one exchange, it still offsets costs and helps shorten payback periods.
What incentives or rebates are available?
While the federal tax credit is expiring on December 31, 2025, Georgia Power offers rebates for EV chargers and energy-efficient appliances. The Zero Grid team checks all local programs to maximize your savings.
