Why Georgetown Residents and Businesses Are Going Solar
Georgetown's energy landscape presents strong opportunities for solar adoption. With Kentucky Utilities (KU) electricity rates rising consistently and Central Kentucky's severe thunderstorms, ice storms, and volatile spring weather threatening grid reliability across Scott County, homeowners and businesses throughout the Bluegrass Region are discovering the financial and practical benefits of solar energy and battery storage systems.
💰
Rising Energy Costs
Kentucky Utilities (KU) residential rates now average 11–13 cents per kWh and continue climbing with approved rate increases, with tiered structures pushing heavy summer and winter usage higher. Solar systems lock in your energy costs for 25+ years, providing predictable savings that compound as utility rates continue rising at 3–4% annually. Georgetown businesses and industrial facilities—including suppliers to the region's thriving automotive manufacturing sector—face commercial rates averaging 9–12 cents per kWh plus significant demand charges that add substantially to monthly operating costs.
⛈️
Severe Weather & Grid Reliability
Central Kentucky experiences frequent severe thunderstorms, damaging straight-line winds, occasional tornadoes, winter ice storms, and flooding events that regularly disrupt power across Scott, Fayette, and surrounding counties. Georgetown's mix of rural and suburban service areas makes power lines particularly vulnerable to wind damage and falling trees. The average Georgetown home experiences 3–6 power outages annually lasting 4–18+ hours each—battery storage systems provide essential backup for heating, cooling, refrigeration, sump pumps, well pumps, and business continuity during Kentucky's volatile storm seasons.
☀️
Strong Solar Resources
Georgetown receives 4.5 peak sun hours daily and approximately 200 sunny days annually—solid solar resources for the Upper South and Bluegrass Region. Kentucky's position provides strong solar irradiance from March through October, and even winter months contribute meaningful energy production. Well-designed systems generate 1,200–1,400 kWh annually per installed kW, providing excellent return on investment for Central Kentucky installations. Moderate summer temperatures compared to Deep South states allow panels to maintain higher efficiency during peak production months.
📋
Available Incentives & Programs
The 30% Federal Investment Tax Credit remains available through 2032 for all solar installations, covering panels, battery storage, and installation costs. Kentucky's net metering program with Kentucky Utilities provides retail-rate credits for excess solar production sent back to the grid—a valuable benefit for Georgetown homeowners. Kentucky exempts solar energy equipment from state sales tax. Commercial installations qualify for accelerated MACRS depreciation, recovering 85% of costs within six years. TVA and rural electric cooperative programs may offer additional incentives for qualifying installations in surrounding areas.

"Switching to solar with PES in Georgetown saved us over $1,100 in our first year alone. Our 7kW system now covers the majority of our electricity usage, and the Tesla Powerwall kept our heat and essentials running during last February's ice storm when power was out for 22 hours in our neighborhood. The PowerLink installer they recommended was professional and handled all the permits and Kentucky Utilities coordination seamlessly. Best investment we've made for our Scott County home."
Emily T.Georgetown Homeowner
"As a solar contractor serving Georgetown and the greater Lexington area, PES's fast delivery has been a game-changer for my business. When I need panels or inverters for installations across Central Kentucky, materials arrive within 48 hours without me maintaining massive inventory. Their PowerLink bulk pricing and responsive support team have given me a real competitive advantage in Kentucky's growing solar market. Plus, they understand the storm-rated and weather-resistant equipment we need for our four-season climate."
David M.Local Solar Contractor, Georgetown
"Our auto parts facility near Georgetown was paying $3,800 monthly to Kentucky Utilities with significant demand charges during peak production shifts. PES designed a 75kW rooftop system that's cut our electricity costs by $1,700 monthly—over 45% reduction. The federal tax credit and accelerated depreciation made the financial case compelling. System paid for itself in 6.8 years and now we've substantially reduced demand charges during manufacturing hours. Highly recommend for any Central Kentucky business looking to control energy costs."
Thomson B.Manufacturing Owner, Scott County

Many Georgetown homeowners find that monthly solar loan payments are comparable to or less than their previous Kentucky Utilities electricity bills, providing immediate positive cash flow while building home equity. Commercial installations typically achieve positive cash flow within the first year when combining federal tax benefits with utility cost reductions—with Central Kentucky's solid solar resources driving reliable long-term returns for Scott County businesses and agricultural operations.
Georgetown receives 4.5 peak sun hours daily on average and approximately 200 sunny days annually—solid solar resources for the Upper South and Bluegrass Region. Kentucky's four-season climate actually offers advantages for solar: moderate summer temperatures prevent the extreme heat-related efficiency losses seen in Deep South states, while long summer days provide extended production hours from May through September.
Georgetown Solar Performance Factors:
Annual production: Well-designed systems generate 1,200–1,400 kWh per installed kW—strong performance for the region
Seasonal balance: Summer production (May–September) is strongest, with net metering credits from KU banking excess energy for use during shorter winter days
Temperature advantage: Georgetown's moderate Bluegrass summers (average highs 85–90°F) keep panels operating at higher efficiency compared to hotter Deep South climates—5–10% performance benefit
Winter production: Even during shorter winter days, systems produce meaningful energy—modern panels perform well in cold, clear Kentucky winter conditions
Storm resilience: Properly engineered systems with storm-rated racking withstand Central Kentucky's severe thunderstorms and continue producing immediately after weather events pass
Net metering benefit: Excess summer production credited at retail rates (11–13 cents/kWh) through KU's program offsets winter consumption effectively
Real Georgetown System Performance:
A typical 7kW residential system in Georgetown produces approximately 8,700–9,600 kWh annually—enough to offset 70–85% of average household consumption. Solar production is strongest during summer months when air conditioning demand peaks, maximizing the value of every kWh generated. Commercial systems show excellent performance ratios with optimized tilt angles and south-facing orientations. Georgetown's position in Kentucky's Bluegrass Region provides consistent, bankable solar production that makes solar a financially sound investment for Central Kentucky homes, businesses, and agricultural operations.
