Permits, HOAs and inspections
The paperwork between a signature and a switched-on system in Clark County.
Short answer: in the Las Vegas valley four authorities issue solar permits, the City of Las Vegas, the City of Henderson, the City of North Las Vegas and unincorporated Clark County, and where your house sits decides which one you deal with. A battery adds steps: NV Energy's advance review, and in the City of Las Vegas a full plan review. If you live under an HOA, Nevada voids covenants that prohibit or unreasonably restrict solar, and an association with solar rules has 35 days to answer before the request is deemed approved. Install day itself is usually one working day on the roof; the paperwork is what takes weeks, and the system does not switch on until NV Energy grants Permission to Operate. The guides below cover each step in the order it happens.
