Beaver Dam State Park in Nevada
Kevin Romney serves as the manager of Radiant Solar Solutions in Henderson, Nevada, a city southeast of Las Vegas. An avid outdoorsman, Kevin Romney of Las Vegas enjoys visiting state and national parks.
Nevada holds a variety of parks, including Beaver Dam State Park, a designated Watchable Wildlife Area and a popular destination for visitors hoping to spot great blue herons, porcupines, jackrabbits, turkeys, and mule deer. Open throughout the year, the park’s rustic natural beauty welcomes guests who like to camp, hike, or fish.
Beaver Dam holds two developed campgrounds, both with sites that have parking for one vehicle, a fire pit, and a picnic table. Guests can stay at either campsite for up to 14 consecutive days.
Fishing in the park requires anglers to have fishing licenses. The Nevada Department of Wildlife stocks the streams with rainbow trout, and guests are allowed to catch up to five trout per person.
Numerous hiking trails wind their way through Beaver Dam State Park. Overlook Trail provides hikers with beautiful views of the canyon, and Oak Knoll Trail gives visitors areas to stop for fishing.

Nevada Solar Systems - Increasingly Affordable and Cost Effective
Kevin D. Romney is a respected Las Vegas business executive who manages Radiant Solar Solutions and installs sonnenBatterie solar-energy residential systems that incorporate backup power and peak saving capacities. Active with the Bring Back Solar Alliance, Kevin D. Romney has engaged with state legislators in expanding the reach of rooftop solar throughout Nevada.
With states such as California and Arizona leading the way in residential solar power, Nevada ranks fourth nationwide in installed capacity and industry job creation. Approximately 500,000 Nevada homes operate on solar, with nearly 10 percent of total energy statewide coming from clean, renewable solar technologies.
On average, Las Vegas solar panels cost $3.45 per watt, with the average solar system in late 2016 costing less than $19,000, before incentives and rebates. Over the past five years, solar prices have decreased by nearly two-thirds, which has led many homeowners to install rooftop panels.
Among the key incentives in place is a solar panel rebate of $0.245 per watt of installed solar energy. The Federal Government also offers a 30% tax credit, which can translate into thousands of dollars of savings per system. The long-term economic benefits of such systems are well demonstrated, with savings averaging $26,710 over a two-decade period.

Benefits of Solar Panels for Homeowners
A graduate of Brigham Young University's School of Accountancy at the Marriott School of Management, Kevin D. Romney handles business development for Las Vagas-based Doctors Health Network, which helps clinics and doctors’ offices maximize insurance reimbursements and grow their referral networks. Kevin D. Romney also serves as a manager with Radiant Solar Solutions, a provider of rooftop solar systems based in Las Vegas, where he oversees the firm’s installation and maintenance operations.
With installation costs dropping more than 73 percent since 2006, rooftop solar panels hold many potential financial benefits for homeowners. First, solar panels save homeowners between $44 and $187 per month the first year, which means the entire system can pay for itself in as little as five years. In addition to realizing monthly utility savings, homeowners with solar panels often qualify for federal and state solar tax credits. Solar panels also typically increase the value of a home by around $15,000, according to a study by the Department of Energy, and shifting reliance to the sun can protect residents from energy-cost increases determined by expensive energy providers.
