Nevada solar notes
Nevada restored net metering after 2017 reforms, now crediting exports at 75% of retail; abundant desert sun and low install costs keep payback reasonable.
Heads up: the 30% federal tax credit for purchased home solar ended Dec 31, 2025. Leased/PPA systems may still qualify through 2027, and Nevada may offer its own incentives — check locally.
