Net Excess Generation Notes

RNR-Instantaneous Netting:

  • All Excess Energy will be credited at the Solar Avoided Energy Cost, summed monthly, and then used to reduce the customer’s total monthly bill.
  • Rate changes year to year.
  • Customers will be paid out per kW they produce rather than matching energy production to energy consumption.

Energy Offset Only: 

  • Customers will not receive any credit for generation that is exported.

Utility Specific Adjustments

Goodleap Projects: (Including Battery)

  • Goodleap has a 10kw AC limit - regardless of PV only or Backup
  • Goodleap systems with TPW3 we will require AC coupling to limit the AC size to 10kw.
  • Since TPW3 has a 7.6kw AC limit each - the max inverter we can use with it is a 7.6kw. (If we are using two TPW3 or a TPW3+Xpac we can use a single SE10k inverter)
  • If the system size exceeds a 7.6k inverter (with one TPW3), we can do split pv system with 5.7k string on the TPW3, and 3.8k upstream of the gateway.
  • No PCS or curtailment will be accepted.
  • Existing systems are now DQ from Goodleap if sold after November 1, 2025.

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with Georgia Power before you rely on this. The useful move: if an installer says you need a main panel upgrade, ask how these tap and interconnection policies were considered first.
