“1st Solar is a reputable company that prioritizes your energy needs. Horace was professional, knowledgeable and personable — helpful in every aspect from beginning to the end of the installation.”
“Horace was very detailed in every step of our journey of owning solar, from a general inquiry to obtaining permission to operate. If anyone is looking into the process, look no further!”
“Other solar companies made us skeptical, but when we met 1st Solar the process went great. Our agent didn't just sell us solar — he walked us through what to expect at every stage.”

Solar questions, answered
How much does solar cost with 1st Solar?
Every system is custom-designed, so pricing depends on your energy use, roof and equipment choices. We offer free consultations and $0-down options so you can compare your current power bill against a solar plan before committing to anything.
Is the federal solar tax credit still available?
The 30% residential tax credit (Section 25D) ended for homeowner-owned systems installed after December 31, 2025. Solar can still pay off through lower utility bills and financing or lease options — we'll walk you through what applies to your home today.
Does Georgia Power buy back my extra energy?
Georgia Power and many EMCs offer buy-back programs that credit you for excess solar energy you send to the grid. Rates vary by utility, which is why we often pair systems with battery storage so you use more of your own power.
Will solar work on an older home or roof?
Often, yes — one of our customers went solar on a home built in 1955. We assess your roof during the site visit and can handle roofing replacement before installation if needed.
How long does installation take?
Most residential installs take one to two days on the roof. Design, permitting and utility approval add a few weeks, and we handle all of that paperwork for you.
