National Solar Capacity Ranking: 7th
Data Current Through: Q2 2024
Georgia’s solar and storage market has taken off in recent years, landing it a top spot in SEIA’s national solar rankings. During the 2024 session, an industry-supported decommissioning bill was passed after much collaboration and effort. Community solar is the next big piece of the puzzle that solar advocates have their sights set on to expand in the state.

Consumer protection is a top priority for SEIA across the country. During the 2023 and 2024 legislatives sessions there was a DG focused consumer protection bill in the House, HB 73, that made it to the Senate Regulated Industries and Utilities Committee where it ultimately died during the 2024 session. Currently SEIA is working with both regulatory and legislative officials on the best way to continue forward with consumer protections in the state, we are also working to educate them on our ANSI standards that are in the process of being approved.
