Specific to the solar industry, N.R.S. 598.9801-9822 details contract requirements and disclosures for DG and residential systems. Passed in 2024, SB 293, enhanced provisions designed to prevent deceptive trade practices. SB 293 requires solar salespeople to be employees of a solar installation company, and that company must hold a Nevada contractor’s license. SB 293 also adds required disclosures to the solar contract cover page and ensures customers receive contracts in the language used in the sale and advertising.

Nevada Energy Storage Policy and Market Overview

Energy storage is a key component of Nevada’s energy objectives. The state is a leader in storage deployments and the annual growth of the market is unprecedented. Utility, legislative, and regulatory actors are working to create a booming market with ample funding and incentive opportunities, a thorough interconnection process, and consumer protections.

Legislators in Nevada are key players in advancing storage growth. In 2017, the state legislature passed an energy storage procurement target, set at 1,000 MW by 2030. In the same year, the state also mandated energy storage reporting in IRP filings, further stimulating the market. And the establishment of the Nevada Renewable Energy Bill of Rights codified residential and commercial access to interconnect batteries and receive fair compensation.

Open pathways for residential and business customers to enter the storage market have inspired funding opportunities to offset costs. Property tax abatement, rebates, and state funding are incentivizing deployment with a pipeline of more than 90% paired solar and storage systems.
