Utility rules and programs for Paradise
Nevada Power serves homes in Paradise.
| Utility | Type | Solar export rule |
|---|---|---|
| Nevada Power Co | investor-owned | Nevada Power (NV Energy) nets your solar monthly: power you use from your panels offsets your bill at full retail, and leftover exports earn a bill credit of 75% of the retail energy rate for 20 years (Tier 4, rooftop systems of 25 kW or less). Credits roll over but cannot pay the Basic Service Charge. A daily demand charge of 14 cents per kW is scheduled for Jan. 1, 2027 and is under court appeal. Apply through PowerClerk; the fee is $189 in the south. |
Program details are from each utility’s own pages (read October 2026). See the Nevada incentives table for statewide credits and a status for every program.

Solar Panel Installation in Paradise FAQs
Is solar worth it in Paradise?
The sun is strong (about 1,640 kWh a year per kW, our estimate), but export credits are low, so solar pays most when sized to what you use at home or paired with a battery. See the Nevada incentives for the state credit.
Is there a federal solar tax credit in 2026?
No. The federal 25D credit ended for expenditures after December 31, 2025. Nevada has no state solar tax credit or rebate that we found; its state benefit is the NRS 701A.200 property tax exemption, and how it applies to homes is not confirmed.
Do I need a permit for solar panels in Paradise?
Usually yes, and the utility may need to approve solar and batteries. Clark County Building and Fire Prevention handles permits in Paradise; see the permit information above.
