Buying solar
Prices, quotes, contracts and the questions that separate a good proposal from a bad one.
Short answer: before you sign anything for solar in Nevada, check three things. The contractor's license, on the State Contractors Board's own search, with an Active status and a monetary limit that covers the job. The price, in writing, with the cash price stated separately from any loan, so a dealer fee cannot hide inside the rate. And the contract itself: Nevada requires a cover page, a disclosure form and a cancellation right of three business days, ten if you are 60 or older. Then compare proposals line by line on the same terms: system size, production estimate, equipment, warranty, and who handles the permits and the NV Energy interconnection. The federal residential credit ended for systems completed after December 31 2025, so be wary of any pitch still built on it. These guides walk through each step.
