Net metering with NV Energy
- Rooftop systems of 25 kW or less installed on or after June 15, 2017 fall under NV Energy's NMR-405 rate. New installations are in Tranche 4, which credits net excess energy at 75 percent of NV Energy's then-effective retail rate. Credits can't be applied to the basic service charge and can't be cashed out.

A note on the federal tax credit
The federal residential clean energy credit (25D) doesn't apply to expenditures made after December 31, 2025. The IRS treats an expenditure as made when installation is completed.
