Georgia is one of the top states to go solar in the United States. The Peach State is known for more than just its juicy peaches, beautiful sights, and southern charm – the winters are mild, the summers are long and warm, which is great for solar. Georgia Power also has a great net metering program which, combined with the federal tax credit any other incentives, can save homeowners thousands of dollars on solar panels. By making the switch to clean, renewable energy, Georgia residents will also be reducing their carbon footprint along the way.
2021 is the time to go solar! Installed solar capacity in Georgia is projected to grow by almost 2,000 MW over the next five years. If you’re considering making the switch to solar, , knowing if solar ownership, lease, or a power purchase agreement (P.P.A.) is the best option for your home can be confusing. We are here to help you make the best choice for your solar purchase.

ARE SOLAR PANELS A GOOD INVESTMENT IN GEORGIA?
Georgia is home to about 6 million people, making it the 8th most populous state in the United States. Many of its residents live in the bustling metropolis of Atlanta, which is home to the busiest airport in the country and many Fortune 500 companies. Georgia is known for its diversity, overall great weather, beautiful landscapes, and low cost of living. Solar power is so popular in Georgia partly because the weather is pretty much ideal for solar power, and because it helps Georgians save money and reduce their carbon footprint, keeping the Georgia air clear and the state beautiful.
NET METERING
Georgia Power and other utility companies in the Peach State will measure the amount of excess solar electricity your solar panels produce and put on the grid, and pay you a rate determined by Georgia’s Public Service Commission. Georgia utilities have great net metering programs and can save homeowners with solar hundreds of extra dollars.
FEDERAL INVESTMENT TAX CREDIT
Great news! The Federal Investment Tax Credit, or the solar tax credit, was extended to stay at 26% through 2022. After the end of 2022, it is being reduced to 22% and then disappearing altogether. This tax credit allows homeowners to receive 26% of the cost of their solar system as a tax credit the following year. Going solar before this tax credit disappears is a no-brainer, because it can mean thousands of dollars in savings.

I shopped around with 4 other solar companies in the area and this one overall was the best. Not the cheapest priced but offered the most value as far as I could see. Isaac was straight forward and honest when walking us through the process and numbers.

Impressed with Blue Raven from first time I talked with the salesman to loan process and truly professional installation. Everything was laid out for me and explained thoroughly so I understood exactly what to expect, who to call, and every option I could choose from.

Good company to do business with. Unlike some of the other high-pressure pitches we had, they were transparent, honest and had a competitive product. We’ve been up and running a year now and so far most our electricity bills are $0

Installers showed up on time and were very courteous and non intrusive. I chose to work from home during the install with some spiritual music on to drown out any noise. To my surprise one gentleman was actually humming along with me. All in all the installation wasnt even noticeable and my housemate slept through the whole day. The exterior of the house and work space was kept clean and organized throughout the install. Other than new esthetically pleasing panels on the roof (unlike my neighbors) I cant tell they were really here. I will say that the thoroughness and attention given on the user devices left me comfortable with the system. I will be reaching out to Blue Raven to install panels on my other property as well.read more

My solar panels were installed today they look great. I can’t wait until they are turned on and I getMy first power bill with them. UPDATE 10/29/2018. GOT MY FIRST POWER BILL, MORE THAN HALF WHAT IT WAS LAST MONTH. THIS MONTH WILL BE THE FIRST FULL BILL THAT I RECEIVE. VERY PROFESSIONAL SERVICE. THE ONLY THING THAT I RECOMMEND IS, THAT BLUE RAVEN SHOULD NOT TAKE A DRAW ON YOUR LOAN UNTIL THE SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED. THAT IS THE ONLY THING I WOULD HAVE CHANGED IN THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE. OTHER THAN THAT, BLUE RAVEN IS THE WAY TO GO WITH SOLAR.read more

Blue Raven is absolutely amazing! We started by wanting to know more about it and what it would look like for installation. Evan was very knowledgeable, patient, and broke things down for us in a way that was easy to understand! He had us a Solar! To this day, He continues to check on us make sure that everything is working correctly followed up on appointment even though his part with us was done. The installers that came out we’re great to they worked diligently to install the solar panels and after they were done took the time to walk us through its use and where we could go for future support. Blue Raven has been very responsive and We have already told many of our friends family and neighbors about them and their product. If you have any on cellular, make the switch today!read more

My Blue Raven experience has been excellent. The customer service is second to none. I experienced only one issue with my system and it was resolved immediately by resetting the firmware. Blue Raven cares about their customers by the way they follow up after the installation.

Blue Raven did a great job with the installation in 2017, explained in detail and walked me through each step of the process of getting connected to solar. Price was good with the rebates, and the payment was easy to make and view through their 3rd party vendor. I would recommend them if you're looking for a solid solar installation company!

Blue Raven handled the entire process for the solar installation for me, so it was nice to not have to do too much footwork on the entire process. This included scheduling any required inspection, filing any required paperwork (including the HOA approval), and setting up the loan for the system. Installation only took about half a day, and the installation team was able to improvise a fix for some design oversights pretty quickly.I was also provided with access to a dashboard website where I can review the generated output of my system day-to-day and by the hour, which is helpful for comparing to the energy company's net meter reporting. All-in-all, the process was quite painless and I look forward to reducing my future reliance on energy from the grid. Thanks, Blue Raven Solar.read more

The salesman, Rhett, was knowledgeable and personable. The home office kept us informed throughout the entire process. The installers were prompt and courteous. Kenny was on time and able to answer my questions. Everyone I have dealt with at Blue Raven has been nothing less than great! Installation and inspection are complete; now it’s time to start saving money🤗

Awesome service from the initial representative who explained thoroughly how things work as far as the panels and the incentives from the government. Installers were very courteous, professional, on time, quick, and knowledgeable in any questions I had. They cleaned up everything very neatly as it was when they got here. Wouldn't have even known they were there if it wasn't for the panels lol. Would say I'd definitely use them again but I don't think we plan on leaving this place anytime soon.....or ever!!!! Highly recommend these guys to anyone looking to cut that unbearable electric bill!!!!read more

It’s shocking more people aren’t going solar in South Carolina. I’m getting around $8000 back from the federal government AND about $6000 back from South Carolina on my taxes for going solar. Didn’t pay any money upfront, just replaced what I was already paying SCEG every month with a cheaper solar payment. Install is clean with interior conduit and quality panels/Inverter. I chose Blue Raven over a local company because they offer a lot more value overall (have more experience with installs, better reviews, quicker response time to issues, etc.) and the risk of them going out of business is minimal in comparison. Been a great experience so far with Blue Raven.read more

I was paying $150/month to SCEG when I spoke to Blue Raven about the possibility of going solar. No upfront or out of pocket money and now I pay $120/month and will eventually pay $0/month once my system is paid off. In the meantime I’m saving $30 every month which is a lot since I’m on a fixed income. Install looks great, all my expectations were met! If you’re looking for a great experience going solar, look no further than Blue Raven!
