Going Solar in Georgia
Aurica is expanding to Georgia, with service starting in January 2027. Get on the list now and we will check availability for your address before we start.
In Georgia, how you’re paid for extra solar power depends on your utility, and Georgia Power pays a set rate rather than full retail credit. Here is what to know before you plan.
UTILITIES
Georgia Electric Utilities
Georgia Power serves most of the state. Electric membership cooperatives (EMCs) and city utilities serve many other homes and set their own solar rules.
NET METERING
Net Metering and Export Rules
New Georgia Power solar customers can join its Instantaneous Netting program under the RNR tariff. Extra power is credited at the Solar Avoided Energy Cost rate, updated each year, plus a fixed adder approved by the Public Service Commission. The older monthly netting option is closed to new customers.
You need to enroll in a program. Georgia Power says a system installed without choosing one is placed on Energy Offset Only, which pays nothing for power sent to the grid. EMCs and city utilities have their own terms.
WAYS TO PAY
Cash or a Solar PPA
Aurica offers two ways to pay. You can pay cash and own the system. Or you can choose a solar power purchase agreement (PPA), where you pay for the power the panels produce, with either a 0% yearly rate (the contracted per-kWh rate stays flat) or a 3.5% yearly increase. Qualifying PPA offers can be $0 upfront. PPA availability and terms depend on your address, and your signed agreement sets the details. Savings are not guaranteed.
BATTERY STORAGE
Q.HOME CORE and Tesla Powerwall 3
Aurica offers two home batteries: Q.HOME CORE from Qcells and Tesla Powerwall 3. A battery stores solar power for the evening and can keep your essentials running during an outage. How long backup lasts depends on battery size and what you run. We help you compare the two for your home.
Because exports earn less than retail, a battery can let you use more of your own solar power in the evening and keep essentials running in an outage.
