Astrawatt Solar Atlanta

Astrawatt Solar Atlanta traces its roots to 2016, when founder Keith Murphy—a veteran of the solar industry—grew frustrated by the sheer number of pushy, out-of-touch solar sales companies flooding the market. Murphy set out to give homeowners the solar experience they deserve: transparent, educational, and free of high-pressure tactics. Though headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, Astrawatt expanded to serve Atlanta and surrounding Georgia communities through a multi-state network that now spans more than a dozen markets. By 2020, the company had earned recognition as one of the Inc. 5000 Fastest-Growing Private Companies in America, ranking #169. That same year, Astrawatt customers saved over $816,000 on electricity bills and produced more than 6.2 million kWh of clean energy. Today, with over 1,500 residential installations completed across corporate and franchise locations, Astrawatt Solar Atlanta brings that same commitment to Georgia homeowners considering solar panels for their homes. The company operates as a vertically integrated solar installer in Atlanta, meaning every step—from the initial consultation and system design to permitting, installation, and post-installation support—is handled in-house by W-2 employees, not subcontractors. This approach ensures consistency, accountability, and a single point of contact for homeowners navigating the solar installation process. Astrawatt’s crews are trained to prioritize aesthetics, often running conduit through attics when possible to minimize visible wiring on rooftops. The company partners with top-tier manufacturers including REC for solar panels, Enphase for microinverters and battery storage, and Tesla for Powerwall systems. As an Enphase Platinum Installer and Tesla Powerwall Certified Installer, Astrawatt demonstrates product expertise and commitment to quality equipment. The company holds NABCEP certification, the gold standard for solar professionals, and maintains an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. For Atlanta homeowners, switching to solar energy means taking advantage of Georgia’s net metering policies and the federal solar Investment Tax Credit, which covers 30% of system costs. Astrawatt’s consultative sales process encourages customers to get multiple bids and conduct their own research—a refreshing departure from the industry’s aggressive sales culture. The team walks homeowners through shading analysis, product recommendations, financing options, and realistic savings projections using sophisticated satellite imaging software. Installation typically takes one to three days, and Astrawatt handles all permitting, utility applications, and inspections to ensure smooth project completion and grid interconnection. While customer reviews are mixed—with strong praise for professionalism and quality installations balanced by some reports of communication challenges—the company’s growth and industry recognition reflect a genuine commitment to making solar installation in Georgia accessible, transparent, and rewarding for homeowners ready to embrace clean energy.
