Solar panels – installed on the rooftop – will capture Nevada’s abundance of sunlight throughout the day to power your electricity.
The solar panels pass DC energy through an inverter to be converted into alternating current (AC) to be used for household needs.
Electricity generated from the solar energy system is used to power the home’s electric components. Systems equipped with battery storage can store any excess energy for use during the nighttime, on cloudy days, or in power outages.
When a solar energy system generates more electricity than the home needs, the surplus can be sold back into the city’s utility grid - for the homeowner’s benefit.
Nevada’s homeowners can closely monitor their solar energy production/usage through advanced monitoring systems to optimize consumption patterns.
Nevada homeowners who implement solar will see lower utility bills and help to reduce greenhouse gasses – creating a win-win situation.
Absolutely! Solar panel installation can significantly reduce your home’s electricity bills – in addition to contributing to the larger movement to reduce greenhouse gasses. On average, Nevada homes produce 973kWh, meaning converting to solar is a fantastic investment for most residents. Nevada also ranks as the 6th best state in the USA for solar energy production.
Excess energy produced during peak solar times can be returned to the grid and credited to your NV Energy account for later use.
As solar panels increase property value, homeowners typically see a rise in property taxes after installing their system.
The upfront costs of solar panel installation can be pricey, but the long-term benefits make it worth the investment. This is especially true in Nevada due to the high sun exposure.
Under the Nevada Solar Incentives Program, homeowners can get tax credits for 30% of the cost of solar panel installation. Talk to a representative at Mountain Vista Roof Systems to learn more.
