Local incentive reality
The incentive picture in Conyers
Both providers here credit exported energy below the retail rate, so the practical incentive is whatever you can use as you make it. Georgia Power’s 2026 figure of roughly 7.22 cents is Commission-set and dated; the Snapping Shoals figure is reported rather than established and we confirm it against the cooperative’s current schedule before it informs a number.
In Rockdale County the two providers sit far enough apart that the same house would be a reasonable project on one and a marginal one on the other. That is the incentive picture in Conyers, and it is settled by the meter rather than by anything in the tax code.

What Snapping Shoals EMC / Georgia Power pays you for solar in Conyers
In Conyers, Snapping Shoals EMC / Georgia Power's export terms are worth more over 25 years than any one-off credit: 13,580 kWh a year from a 9.5 kW system, every year.
| Item | Current position (August 2026) |
|---|---|
| Programme | cooperative export-credit rider or RNR Instantaneous Netting |
| Retail rate you avoid | depends on the provider, confirmed against your own bill for power you use as you generate it |
| Export credit | depends on the provider, confirmed per account for power you send back |
| Monthly rider | None specific to this programme, though standard service charges still apply. |
| Upfront utility rebate | None. There is no residential cash-back programme in this territory. |
| Who confirms your territory | We do, at the assessment. In and around Conyers, Walton EMC serves some addresses nearby, and terms differ. |
The practical consequence: the gap between the retail rate you avoid and the export credit decides whether a kilowatt-hour you export is worth as much as one you use yourself. We read both off your own bill and size to your consumption rather than to your roof area.
