Overview
The state of Nevada is working with utility companies to move twenty-five percent of the state's electricity to renewable sources by 2025. With over 300 sunny days per year and some of the highest solar irradiance in the country, Nevada homeowners are in an excellent position to go solar.
Nevada's combination of strong sunlight and net metering makes it one of the most financially attractive states for residential solar in the country. Note: the 30% federal ITC expired December 31, 2025.
