What Savannah homeowners pay for power

Savannah sits in Chatham County and is served by Georgia Power, at about ~15.8¢ all-in — supply plus delivery plus riders, not the supply rate on its own. That is the number solar has to beat, and it is why most Savannah homeowners start comparing.

ZIP codes we serve here: 31401, 31404, 31405, 31406, 31410, 31419. If your ZIP is not listed it does not mean we cannot help — Chatham County has more neighborhoods than we can list. Enter your ZIP and it will tell you.

What your roof actually produces in Savannah

Savannah averages 4.9 peak sun hours a day. A well-oriented kilowatt of panels produces roughly 1,430 kilowatt-hours a year here. A typical 9 kW residential system therefore produces around 12,870 kWh annually. At Georgia Power’s rate of ~15.8¢, that production is worth roughly $2,033 a year before any incentive.

Those are pre-shading numbers. Trees, roof pitch and orientation move them, sometimes a lot, which is why an installer looks at your specific roof rather than quoting from a city average.

Rate figures as published August 2026 from Georgia Public Service Commission filings, utility tariffs and U.S. Energy Information Administration data. See the full breakdown on our Georgia solar rates page.

What makes Savannah different.

Savannah's coastal climate means salt-air corrosion is a real consideration — corrosion-resistant racking and equipment is required. Historic district properties have strict architectural review processes for solar; newer Pooler and Richmond Hill suburbs have much fewer restrictions and ideal solar conditions.

Savannah's hot, humid climate drives heavy summer cooling loads. Coastal areas also face hurricane risk — solar systems are designed to withstand 130+ mph winds with proper engineering.

As a Georgia resident, you have access to:

Savannah climate & production
Georgia receives about 5.0 peak sun hours per day — excellent solar production conditions. Long summers with high air conditioning loads make solar especially valuable for offsetting peak-demand pricing periods.

Roof considerations in Savannah

Georgia's hot, humid climate is hard on shingles — most asphalt roofs last 15-20 years rather than 25. Many Georgia homes need roof replacement before or alongside solar installation, which is why our combined solar + roof financing is particularly relevant here.

If your roof is over 15 years old, replacing it before solar installation makes financial sense — solar lasts 25-30 years, and you don't want to remove a working solar system to redo shingles. EnergyPros can quote both projects together with combined financing.

Frequently asked questions — Savannah

Does $0-down solar really work in Savannah?
Yes. Savannah residents can access $0-down solar through Georgia's net metering program and Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) financing — pay for solar power at a rate lower than your current utility, with no purchase, no loan, no upfront cost. Georgia Power is the primary utility serving most of Savannah, and supports residential net metering.
How much could I save with solar in Savannah?
Average Georgia solar homeowners save about $1420/year. Savannah-specific savings depend on your individual electric bill (city average: $160/month), roof orientation, system size, and the specific financing structure you choose.
How long does solar installation take in Savannah?
From signing your contract to system activation typically takes 4 to 12 weeks in Savannah. Roof inspection and permitting take 2-4 weeks, panel installation is 1-3 days on the day-of, and Georgia Power interconnection plus Permission to Operate (PTO) is the remaining time.
What if my roof needs replacement first?
If your roof needs replacement, EnergyPros can match you with installers who handle both projects — typically with combined financing that fits a single monthly payment. Georgia's hot, humid climate is hard on shingles — most asphalt roofs last 15-20 years rather than 25. Many Georgia homes need roof replacement before or alongside solar installation, which is why our combined solar + roof financing is particularly relevant here.
