ORION SMART POWER
Georgia
Georgia boasts an abundance of sunshine and attractive financial incentives, making it an ideal choice for installing solar power. Ranking as the 9th-highest solar energy producing state in the U.S., Georgia has invested $3.7 billion into solar energy, which has generated enough power to supply 359,160 homes with its existing installs. Not only do these developments benefit the environment by reducing carbon emissions equivalent to taking 5.7 million cars off the road each year; but they also support the state's goal of becoming 100% emission-free by 2035 as per 2021 reports. Solar power is therefore an excellent way for Georgia residents to help their state reach its clean energy ambitions while benefitting from lower electricity bills at home.
4 Reasons Why It’s Worth Going Solar in Georgia
ALLEVIATE OUTAGES
Add battery storage to your solar system so you can rely on clean energy and disconnect from the grid during outages.
COUNT ON SAVINGS
Reduce your carbon footprint while harnessing the power of the sun. Solar panels take advantage of this by providing consistent, reliable power.
LOWER YOUR FOOTPRINT
Solar power has many advantages over fossil fuels as a renewable energy source. It is a more viable option for your home, community, and the environment.
INCREASE HOME VALUE
​Due to the increasing popularity of solar-powered homes, they stand out, resulting in immense profits as they sell faster and at a higher value in the national real estate market.
