North Las Vegas, NV Solar Energy: HOA Restrictions (2026)

Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 116 (Common-Interest Communities) section 116.330 explicitly protects homeowner rights to install solar energy systems in master-planned and HOA-governed communities, including North Las Vegas neighborhoods such as Aliante and Eldorado. The statute makes any HOA covenant, restriction, or rule that effectively prohibits or unreasonably restricts the installation or use of a solar energy system void and unenforceable. HOAs retain the ability to impose reasonable aesthetic restrictions, such as requiring panels to be installed flush with the roof slope, prohibiting panels on the front-facing roof when an alternative location with comparable production exists, requiring conduit and wiring to be painted to match the building, and requiring architectural review applications. However, restrictions that significantly increase the cost of the system or significantly decrease its efficiency or specified performance are not enforceable. Homeowners denied approval can pursue Nevada Real Estate Division Common Interest Community ombudsman complaints and civil action for declaratory and injunctive relief plus attorney fees. Combined with NRS 701B solar access protections and federal solar incentives, Nevada is among the strongest solar rights states.
