The value of solar power just got a huge boost thanks to the Georgia Public Service Commission. For the first time in state history, Georgia Power customers that install solar panels for their home or business can get full retail credit for energy sent back to the utility! The new policy is capped for the first 5,000 customers or 32MW, whichever comes first. Program details are being worked out now and we will update you when we learn more.
