Does net metering with Georgia Power give me a cheaper electricity rate?

No. Net metering is a billing arrangement, not a rate plan. Energy your system sends to the grid is credited against energy you draw from it. The price you pay per kilowatt-hour does not change because you have solar. Anyone describing it as a cheaper rate is describing it wrong.

Will I still get a bill from Georgia Power?

Most solar customers continue to receive a utility bill. What it contains depends on your usage, system design, interconnection, applicable rates, and program rules. Your account stays connected to the grid unless the system is designed otherwise.

How long does Georgia Power interconnection take?

Timing is controlled by the utility, not by the installer or by Nova Structa. It depends on the application, inspections, and the utility's own queue, and it varies.

Are lease or financing options available in Georgia Power territory?

Financing structures available in Georgia differ from Florida's and depend on provider criteria and state rules. What applies to your home is confirmed during the assessment.

Can Georgia Power change its solar rules?

Yes. Rates, net-metering terms, interconnection requirements, and program rules are set by the utility and, for investor-owned utilities, by state regulators. They can change, which is one reason no savings figure can be guaranteed.

What Georgia Power controls

Most of Georgia, including metro Atlanta.

Georgia Power is regulated by the Georgia Public Service Commission, not by Florida regulators, so nothing about the Florida process carries over.
Georgia's rules for how a home solar system is credited on the bill differ from Florida's, and the programs that govern it have their own terms and enrollment limits.
Interconnection, metering and program participation are decided by Georgia Power and the state commission, and can change.
Some Georgia homes are served by an electric membership corporation or a municipal utility rather than Georgia Power, each with its own rules.

Savings and utility-bill examples shown are illustrative only, are not guaranteed, and may not reflect typical results. Actual savings depend on your energy usage, system size, roof and site conditions, financing terms, utility rates, net-metering rules, and other factors specific to your home.

Financing, where available, is provided by third-party financing providers and is subject to credit approval. Rates, terms, fees, monthly payments, total cost, and any security interest or filing are set out in your financing agreement. “$0 down” describes the initial payment structure only and does not mean the system or services are free.
