GNERC's decision on April 1, 2026, dealt a heavy blow to Georgian businesses. Electricity prices reached a historic maximum, but this same crisis created an unprecedented opportunity in the solar energy sector.
At today’s commercial tariff, a Deye SUN-20K-SG05LP3 hybrid with a HECKMAN 15.36 kWh energy bank often pays back in about 3–4 years for business loads — model your site in the calculator.
Why is April 2026 a turning point?
For 3-phase networks (380-220V), the tariff jumped by 5.3 tetri at once. Today in Tbilisi the price is 35.261 tetri, and in the regions — 35.713 tetri. This means that the monthly costs for manufacturing, hotels, and retail facilities are growing catastrophically.
Investment Mathematics: ROI dropped to 3 years!
The more expensive the electricity in the grid, the faster alternative energy pays for itself. That is why installing solar systems is now a matter of survival for businesses.
Average payback period for small and medium enterprises at old tariffs.
Fast payback due to increased commercial costs.
How does this work? (Example for a 100 kW station)
- Monthly generation: ~12,000 kWh
- Savings at the old tariff: ~3,600 GEL per month
- Savings at the new tariff (35.7 tetri): ~4,284 GEL per month!
- Result: You save an additional 8,000+ GEL per year, which covers the investment 1 full year earlier. From the 4th year, you make pure profit.
