Georgia solar leads

Sunlight in Atlanta

The PVWatts calculator, built at NREL and now published by the National Laboratory of the Rockies, gives the average daily solar radiation that falls on a modeled array. Atlanta is Georgia’s largest city in the Census Bureau’s July 1, 2025 city estimates, and for Atlanta the calculator returns 5.14 kWh per square meter per day (checked October 9, 2026).

Method in one line: one point per state, the largest city’s Census gazetteer location, run through the PVWatts version 8 defaults (a fixed open-rack array, tilted 20 degrees, facing due south) with typical-year weather from the National Solar Radiation Database. A real roof in Savannah or the north Georgia mountains will differ; the figure lets a buyer compare states on one basis and is not an output estimate for any house.

Who licenses solar installation work in Georgia

Georgia has no separate solar contractor class. The state’s consumer office points solar shoppers to the electrical license instead: in its August 18, 2022 release on solar offers, the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division tells homeowners to make sure the installer is associated with a licensed electrical contractor in Georgia, and to check that license on the Secretary of State’s verification site under “Electrical Contractors”.

The State Board of Electrical Contractors, part of the Secretary of State’s licensing division, issues two contractor licenses: Electrical Contractor Restricted and Electrical Contractor Non-Restricted. New applicants need board approval to sit for the exam. Licenses renew every two years, by June 30 of even-numbered years, with a late renewal window in July (checked October 9, 2026). The board’s guide also says applicants may not legally perform services until they hold an active license.

For a solar buyer, the electrical license is the field to check when vetting the installers it serves in Georgia, both for the company that sells the system and for the contractor that does the wiring.

Detached houses, owners and renters in Georgia

Solar sales go mostly to owners of detached houses, because they control the roof. The Census Bureau’s table B25024 counts 3,013,421 single-family detached homes among Georgia’s 4,541,835 housing units in the 2020-2024 ACS, a 66.3% share that ranks 22nd of the 50 states. Owners live in most of them: table B25032 puts owner-occupied detached homes at 2,291,376, or 85.6% of the state’s 2,676,357 owner-occupied homes.

Renters occupy 1,398,009 of Georgia’s 4,074,366 occupied homes, or 34.3%, in the 2020-2024 ACS table B25003. A renter rarely signs for a roof system, which is why homeowner status is the first field most solar buyers filterFilterA rule that decides which leads a buyer is offered, based on fields such as vertical, sub-type, state, ZIP code, homeownership or accident details. Glossary on.

How old Georgia’s housing is and what it is worth are covered on Georgia window replacement leads; how Georgia homes are heated and cooled is on Georgia HVAC leads.

What the Georgia numbers mean for a solar campaign

Put side by side, the Georgia facts point to a few practical checks for a buyer setting up solar coverage in the state:

• Check the electrical license first. With no separate solar class, the State Board of Electrical Contractors license is what the Attorney General tells homeowners to verify (checked October 9, 2026).
• Plan for the cancellation window. Sales that meet the conditions on the Consumer Protection Division page carry a 30 business day cancellation right under the protections in effect since July 1, 2023, so installers build that period into their scheduling after a contract is signed.
• Suburban counties are mostly detached. Henry, Paulding, Cherokee and Clayton all have detached shares above 92% of owner homes in the 2020-2024 ACS, against 74.2% in Fulton.

These points describe the housing, the licensing and the consumer rules in Georgia. They say nothing about how many leads there are, what they cost or where they come from.
