The manager of Las Vegas-based solar panel system provider Radiant Solar Solutions, Kevin Romney is a strong advocate of renewable energy programs in Nevada. Kevin Romney worked alongside other clean energy proponents in and around Las Vegas to support legislation Assembly Bill 405 and strengthen the state’s renewable energy sector.
In the years since the bill was signed, Nevada rose to third in the nation in solar installations. However, Nevada’s solar sector was negatively impacted by a tariff put into place in 2015.
After 2017 Assembly Bill 405 reversed this, the state’s solar energy sector took off again. Federal tax credits have also encouraged residents to install solar panels on their homes.
In 2018, more than 500 megawatts of solar capacity were installed in Nevada. Only California and Florida exceed the state in annual solar installations. While trends are expected to continue upward for the next few years, some experts predict that the expiration of the Residential Renewable Energy Tax Credit in 2022 will cause a slowdown.
