Nevada NRS 111.239 and NRS 116.320 are among the strongest solar access laws in the country. Clark County HOAs cannot ban rooftop solar but may impose reasonable aesthetic restrictions under statute.
Nevada NRS 111.239 voids any covenant, restriction, or provision in a deed that effectively prohibits a property owner from installing solar energy devices. NRS 278.0208 prohibits local governments from restricting solar energy systems unreasonably. Within common-interest communities, NRS 116.320 specifically protects the right of a unit owner to install solar panels, subject only to reasonable restrictions that do not significantly increase cost (over 10 percent) or decrease efficiency (over 10 percent). Clark County master-planned HOAs like Summerlin South, Inspirada, MacDonald Highlands, and Anthem cannot ban rooftop solar but may impose reasonable standards including conduit concealment, matching frame colors, flush-mount requirements on visible slopes, and approved equipment lists. Ground-mount arrays in yards face tighter review. HOAs must process complete solar applications within 60 days or the installation is deemed approved by statute. Denial requires specific technical reasoning, and disputes go to NRED ADR. The Nevada Governor Office of Energy and PUCN jointly support solar adoption.
HOAs that unlawfully ban solar panels face NRS 111.239 invalidation, NRED fines, and potential attorneys fees awards. Application delays beyond statutory deadlines result in deemed approval. Owners prevailing in court can recover damages.
