Nevada solar incentives
Federal ITC — 30%
All US homeowners qualify for the 30% federal Investment Tax Credit through 2032. On a $27,000 system, that's a $8,100 dollar-for-dollar tax credit.
Nevada state programs
Nevada's NVEnergy Renewable Generations Rebate Program has offered cash incentives for residential solar. Nevada has net metering under NRS 704.773, and the state's abundant sunshine (with some of the highest peak sun hours in the US) makes solar highly attractive even without a dedicated state tax credit.
