Need to know
- We rated 8 Nevada solar companies on licensing, warranties, local presence, track record and options. The top three: Solar Optimum (4.5, Excellent), Sunrun (4.5, Excellent) and ION Solar (3.5, Good).
- New NV Energy solar homes earn 75% of the energy price for extra power, a share kept for 20 years. Las Vegas-area homes net by the month; new Reno-area homes since October 1, 2025 net every 15 minutes, so a battery matters more in the north.
- Solar work on a Nevada home needs an active NSCB license. Look for C-2 electrical (or C-2g photovoltaics) under the exact name on your contract; NSCB warns that a seller who “works with” a licensed installer may be unlicensed.
What solar costs in Nevada
Gross price before incentives. The federal credit is $0 for systems you own that are finished after December 31, 2025; Nevada allows leases and PPAs, where incentives follow the owner. Batteries and roof work cost extra. Compare each quote’s price per watt with these numbers.
Source: EcoGen Solar Cost Index, September 2026 Edition, prices as of September 25, 2026. Full breakdown: Nevada solar panel prices.
Solar incentives, tax breaks and rebates in Nevada
- NV Energy bill credit
- Extra power earns 75% of the energy price, a share kept for 20 years: about 8.35¢ per kWh in the south and 8.06¢ in the north (rates from October 1, 2026).
- Property tax
- NRS 701A.200 exempts 100% of a qualified home solar system from property tax. Ask your county assessor to value the home without it.
- Nevada BRIGHT lease
- A prepaid lease through the Nevada Clean Energy Fund takes up to 25% off a solar and battery system. A nonprofit owns it for at least 6 years.
- RE-UP loan
- Loans of $3,000 to $50,000 at a fixed 7.50% to 12.00% for 3 to 8 years, from the Nevada Clean Energy Fund.
- Expanded Solar Access
- Homes at or below 80% of area median income without rooftop solar get at least 1¢ per kWh off NV Energy energy charges. Apply by October 31, 2026.
- Tax credits
- No state solar credit, since Nevada has no personal income tax. The federal homeowner credit ended for systems installed after December 31, 2025.
Who qualifies, deadlines and sources: Nevada solar incentives.
What to check with your utility
Nevada Power (NV Energy, southern Nevada)
- Extra power earns about 8.35¢ per kWh, 75% of the energy price, and imports and exports are netted over the billing month.
- Power you buy costs 11.514¢ per kWh, and credits cannot pay the $18.00 monthly basic service charge.
- From January 2027 bills add a daily demand charge. NV Energy says rooftop solar homes can expect a small increase.
Sierra Pacific Power (NV Energy, northern Nevada)
- For applications since October 1, 2025, exports are netted every 15 minutes and earn about 8.06¢ per kWh.
- Power you buy costs 11.386¢ per kWh, and credits cannot pay the $18.50 monthly basic service charge.
- Ask for savings counted in 15-minute blocks. A battery keeps midday power for the evening.
Valley Electric Association (Pahrump area)
- This co-op credits extra power at its avoided cost and does not post the rate. Get it in writing before you sign.
- You need its Permission to Construct letter before building and a Permission to Operate letter before switching on.
Check the company and its warranty
Three names can appear in one solar deal: the company that sells, the company that signs the contract and the licensed people who do the work. Check that they fit together.
- Contract company: look up its license on the Nevada State Contractors Board (NSCB) contractor license. Solar work on a home needs an active NSCB license; classification C-2 (electrical) covers all electrical work and subclassification C-2g (photovoltaics) covers panels, batteries and inverters.. The name must match your contract.
- Electrical connection: Under NAC 624.200 a C-2 electrical contractor may install any electrical wires, fixtures and apparatus, while a C-2g photovoltaics license covers PV cells, batteries and inverters but not electrical wiring beyond the service panel (https://www.leg.state.nv.us/NAC/NAC-624.html#NAC624Sec200). Ask who does it.
- Warranty documents: ask for the workmanship warranty, the roof coverage terms and each equipment warranty before you sign.
Before your first sales call, read questions to ask your solar installer and how to read a solar quote.
Compare your Nevada quotes
Ask every company to quote the same basics. Then the differences you see are real.
From quote to permission to operate
Some steps overlap, and timing depends on your town, your utility and equipment supply. Ask each installer for a written schedule for your project.
Proposal and site check
The installer looks at your roof, shading and electrical panel and gives you a written proposal.
You and the installerDesign and applications
After you sign, the installer finishes the design and applies to your utility for the connection.
Installer; you sign the formsPermits and utility review
Your town or county reviews the building and electrical permits. The utility reviews the connection.
Permit office and utilityInstallation and inspection
The crew installs the system. A licensed electrician connects it, and the inspector checks the work.
Installer crew, electrician and inspectorPermission to operate
The utility approves the system and updates your meter if needed. Turn the system on only after this step.

How we rate Nevada solar companies
Each company gets up to 100 points from facts anyone can check: its own website and Nevada’s public license records, read October 14, 2026. Facts a company does not publish earn no points. No company pays for its rating, and we do not use customer star reviews.
- Licensing (30 points): an active state license, a licensed electrician and license numbers printed on its website.
- Warranty protection (35 points): workmanship warranty length, roof-penetration coverage in writing and any production guarantee.
- Local presence (15 points): an office in Nevada and Nevada named as a service area.
- Track record (10 points): years installing solar.
- Options (10 points): batteries and the number of ways to pay.
Stars: 85 points or more is 5 (Top-rated), 72 is 4.5 (Excellent), 60 is 4 (Very good), 45 is 3.5 (Good), below 45 is 3 (Average). We did not inspect installations, collect customer quotes or test customer service.
Nevada solar company FAQs
How do I check a Nevada solar installer?
Search the company on the Nevada State Contractors Board license search by company name or license number. Look for an Active status and a C-2 electrical or C-2g photovoltaics classification under the exact name on your contract. Nevada requires the license number on ads, bids and contracts, so ask for it before you talk price.
Does Nevada still have net metering?
Yes, in a reduced form. New NV Energy solar homes get a bill credit of 75% of the energy price for extra power: about 8.35 cents per kWh in southern Nevada and 8.06 cents in the north from October 1, 2026. The 75% share stays with the address for 20 years.
Why does it matter whether I live near Reno or Las Vegas?
Nevada Power in the south still nets the power you send out against the power you buy over the whole month. Sierra Pacific Power in the north nets every 15 minutes for applications since October 1, 2025, so midday surplus earns the lower credit at once. A battery helps northern homes most.
How much can a Nevada solar contractor ask up front?
Nevada caps the first down payment on a home solar contract at $1,000 or 10% of the contract value, whichever is less. Later payments may not exceed the value of the work done. The contract must show the contractor’s license number and monetary limit, the total price and your electric utility.
Will the companies on this page contact me?
