How We Evaluate Las Vegas Solar Companies
We evaluate Las Vegas solar installers based on NABCEP certification, Nevada C-2 solar contractor licensing, NV Energy interconnection experience, and verified customer reviews.
Las Vegas averages 294 sunny days per year — more than Phoenix — making it the highest-irradiance major metro in the US. After a difficult period in 2015–2016 when NV Energy dramatically cut net metering rates, Nevada restored full retail-rate net metering through SB 150 in 2019. The current NV Energy net metering program is one of the most straightforward in the West.
Nevada requires solar contractors to hold a C-2 Electrical Contractor or C-46 Solar Energy Systems license from the Nevada State Contractors Board. Every company on this list holds a current Nevada solar contractor license.

Frequently Asked Questions About Solar in Las Vegas NV
Does NV Energy offer net metering for Las Vegas solar customers?
Yes, NV Energy offers net metering under Nevada's NEM law (restored by SB 150 in 2019). Solar energy exported to the NV Energy grid earns a credit at NV Energy's retail rate. Credits carry forward monthly and are reconciled annually. NV Energy's full retail net metering is one of the most favorable structures in the West, and combined with Las Vegas's exceptional solar irradiance, creates strong solar economics.
What is the average cost of solar panels in Las Vegas NV?
A typical 6–8 kW residential solar system in Las Vegas costs between $16,000 and $24,000 before the federal ITC. After applying the 30% Investment Tax Credit, the net cost drops to roughly $11,200 to $16,800. Las Vegas homeowners see payback periods of 6 to 9 years — among the shortest in the US — due to the exceptional solar resource and NV Energy's rising rates.
Does Nevada require a solar contractor license?
Yes. Nevada requires solar contractors to hold a C-2 Electrical Contractor license or a C-46 Solar Energy Systems Contractor license from the Nevada State Contractors Board. Always verify your Las Vegas solar installer's Nevada contractor license on the NSCB website before signing a contract. Unlicensed solar contracting in Nevada can result in permit issues and voided warranties.
Are there any Nevada state solar incentives beyond the federal ITC?
Nevada offers a Sales Tax Exemption for residential solar equipment — solar panels, inverters, and racking are exempt from Nevada's state sales tax, saving 6.85% on equipment costs. Nevada also has a Property Tax Abatement for renewable energy systems, reducing the property tax on your solar installation. Combined with the 30% federal ITC, Las Vegas homeowners have strong upfront cost reduction.
