Atlanta is FILLED with very tall trees. Which then fall on your panels and break them. https://maps.google.com/maps?q=google+maps+atlanta&hl=en&ll=33.77616,-84

Those large green trees? They're 60-160 feet tall. Drop branches every severe wind. There all over the place (Although most are under a hundred feet tall). They knock out our power lines, our cable lines and when they fall, our houses (luckily most people remove them long before that point).
There are certainly suburban areas near Atlanta where they've been clear cut in their past as part of their transformation into chicken farms (Before being turned into housing), and those locations would likely be EXCELLENT areas for solar panels.
But anywhere that has original trees, nope.
