Georgia Solar Incentives: 2025 Overview

A taxpayer may claim a credit of 30% of qualified expenditures, after deducting incentives, with no upper limit for a system that serves a dwelling unit located in the United States that is owned and used as a residence by the taxpayer. Expenditures with respect to the equipment are treated as made when the installation is completed. If the installation is at a new home, the “placed in service” date is the date of occupancy by the homeowner. Expenditures include labor costs for on-site preparation, assembly or original system installation, and for piping or wiring to interconnect a system to the home. If the federal tax credit exceeds tax liability, the excess amount may be carried forward to the succeeding taxable year. The excess credit may be carried forward until 2019, but it is unclear whether the unused tax credit can be carried forward after then.

A taxpayer may claim a credit of 30% for the installation which was between 2022-2032 (Systems installed on or before December 31, 2019 were also eligible for a 30% tax credit), with no upper limit for a system that serves a dwelling unit located in the United States that is owned and used as a residence by the taxpayer. Expenditures with respect to the equipment are treated as made when the installation is completed. If the installation is at a new home, the placed in service date is the date of occupancy by the homeowner. Expenditures include labor costs for on-site preparation, assembly or original system installation, and for piping or wiring to interconnect a system to the home.

Cobb EMC has long encouraged the efficient use of electricity and renewable energy technologies. To make installing and generating electricity from photovoltaic systems more affordable, Cobb EMC offers rebates to members.If a residential Cobb EMC member chooses to install a qualifying photovoltaic system on their home, the rebate will help to offset a portion of the initial installation cost of the system. Members who qualify for the program are eligible to receive a one-time rebate of $450 per kilowatt AC (kW) installed, up to 10 kW. Limited funds are available. Rebates will be given on a first-come, first-served basis.

Jackson Electric Membership Corporation (Jackson EMC), which serves over 185,000 residential customers, offers rebates to those customers who install photovoltaic (PV) systems. In exchange for these incentives, Jackson EMC retains the rights to any renewable energy credits (RECs) associated with the energy production of these systems. Residential customers may qualify for the one-time rebate of $450 per kilowatt (kW) of DC installed, up to 10 kW. In order to qualify, they must select a trained and certified North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) contractor to install the system, which must be certified by the Florida Solar Energy Center. In addition, the customer’s system must meet Jackson EMC requirements and be pre-approved for interconnection and net metering.

In June 2008, Central Georgia Electric Membership Corporation (CGEMC) began offering a rebate of $450 per kilowatt (kW) to residential members who install photovoltaic (PV) systems that are interconnected and net-metered. To qualify, PV systems must have a warranty of five or more years and must be installed by a licensed contractor. In addition, PV systems are limited to 10 kW AC per household in capacity and must be installed in accordance with all applicable building and national electric codes. Because Central Georgia EMC reserves the right to modify or cancel the program at any time without prior notification, interested members should contact Central Georgia EMC to ensure that a specific project is eligible for this incentive.
