Reno's growing homeowner base and NV Energy service territory made it a target for solar sales companies. Nevada's net metering changes have reduced the value of solar exports, and Reno's variable weather — including significant winter cloud cover — means production often falls short of projections. Nevada law provides specific solar disclosure protections.
Thousands of homeowners across Reno signed solar contracts after being promised dramatic savings — only to find themselves locked into agreements with escalating payments, underperforming systems, and no clear exit. If you are one of them, you have legal options.
Reno homeowners are protected by the Nevada Deceptive Trade Practices Act (NRS 598.0903) and Nevada's specific solar disclosure requirements under NRS 704.7801. These laws require solar companies to disclose the impact of net metering rate changes on projected savings.
Reno's solar market is more complex than Las Vegas because Reno has significantly more cloud cover, especially in winter. Sales companies often used Las Vegas-style sunshine projections for Reno installations, resulting in production that fell short of what was promised. Nevada's net metering changes further eroded the savings case.
Most people have their solar canceled and still get to keep their equipment.
